On Sunday, I’m participating in the 18th annual AIDS Walk New York, a 10k walk that benefits people living with HIV or AIDS. Last year over 42,000 people participated raising over $4.7 million and making this the world’s largest AIDS fundraising event. Personally, I don’t know anyone affected by HIV or AIDS, but you never know. In 1998, there were an estimated 40,000 new HIV infections in the US and worldwide there are 33,400,000 people infected with HIV, 1,200,000 of them under the age of 15. For them I will walk this walk and try to raise a few much needed dollars to support the fight against HIV and AIDS.
Find an AIDS Walk near you (they’re everywhere) to support the cause or make a donation at my personalized AIDS Walk New York sponsorship page. This is the last big charity walk I have scheduled.. just so you don’t think I’m constantly going to be peddling for money via my site! Thanks!
Good for you Rachelle. Just a note. “You do know that 10K is 6.2 miles, right?” Hope you have perfect weather.
Our half marathon on Sunday starts at 9am so we’ll probably be done before you start !
Have a great day !

How long does it take you to run a half marathon? Becuase ours starts at 9 also, but we’re one hour ahead.. so.. if you can run a half marathon in less than an hour you’ll be done before we start. 6 miles is long, but if it’s like the Revlon walk, it’s so packed that you can’t really walk at a fast pace anyway. hopefully it will be nice out…. for both of us!
how long (miles) is a half a marathon?
13 miles, i think
A half marathon is 13.1 miles.Last week it took me 2hrs and 10 min and 19 seconds
your mother 2 hrs 13 min. and 14 seconds
Have a great race enjoy it
We also have a 1/2 marathon in Green Bay this week end

OOPS, My mistake. Yes, a half marathon is 13.1 miles but we start at 7:05 so I was figuring we’d be done at 9:15! and I knew you were an hour ahead ! so yes, we’ll be done before you start ! ! Have fun ! I plan to beat my own PR of 2:11:56 ! This is supposed to be a flat course but also 5-6,000 people. Well supported ! It should be a blast !
Peace and serenity be upon all my brothers and sister, may the stretgh of our unity on this day brings a spirit of love and concern to the world.
It brings tears of joy for me to see all the love on such a day.
God bless us all!
