Summer runs her first 5K run on June 1


I'm excited to say that I've just entered my first 5k race, sponsored by Los Angeles' Temple Beth Hillel and taking place on June 1. Recently I've been working on a 5k training program to improve my speed and endurance, and this will my first chance to test the effects of the program. As a kid, I couldn't run even the required one mile for gym class, so running a 5k in decent time is a big accomplishment for me.

If you are interested in sponsoring me and donating to the Temple Beth Hillel charities, please contact me. Proceeds from the run will go to a package of relief programs, including the Yachad Program for children with special needs, the Moses Program for those with disabilities, the Community Crisis & Counseling Center, and my favorite, the North Hollywood Interfaith Food Pantry, where I have volunteered in the past.

And yes, bagels will be served after the race. Seriously.
