Walk, Run, Get Your 15 Minutes of Fame
Need another reason to join a marathon training or other endurance program?
How about getting featured in your local paper,gaining the admiration of your friends and becoming your hometown’s favorite citizen?
Jennifer Khaki was featured in her hometown paper after signing up for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Los Angeles.
Khaki will participate in the noncompetitive event by completing a marathon and a half (39.3 miles) over the weekend of September 13th & 14th. This is her first time participating in the Avon Walk.

Now don’t expect to get in the paper just for doing a little 5K. You’d have to win a medal or make record time for those short races to even get a mention. Nope, you have to do something that stands out a bit more. There’s certainly not many people, like Jennifer, who are committed enough to do nearly 40 miles for a cause. If they do, they deserve a pat on the back and the keys to the city for at least one day!
