Hi Brenda,
As an Urologist and kidney transplant surgeon,i appreciate your enthusiasm.
If you're in otherwise good health,there's no problem in participating in the run.
You're advised to get your blood routine,RBS,creatinine and LFT checked.
If they're all normal,then there's no harm in participating in the run.
You should continue your jogging and get ready to improve your timings.
Wish you well.
