Sunday I started my running back up again after a ~2 week break by running a semi-competitive 5k with a bunch of other guys on the cross team. They all beat me, but I ran rather faster than I expected (19:18, somehow or other. Man did it hurt though).
Rather more interesting than my race was the purpose of the event, though: to raise money to stop the genocide in Sudan (through the Genocide Intervention Network). You should want to stop the genocide too, and tomorrow I'll be giving you some history on the conflict and reasons to try and stop it.
Meanwhile, the Genocide Intervention Network, Save Darfur Coalition, and Human Rights Watch are excellent resources.
