Default Race For Life 2009

Has anyone else taken part this year (or due to take part v soon)? I did it this morning and feel great! I've also raised £225 in sponsorship for Cancer Research UK, which isn't a huge amount, but every little helps.

At the start of this year, I would have struggled to run for a bus, but having now lost over 5 stone since February I managed to jog roughly half of the 5k course and power walk the rest of it - sprinting over the finish line in 42 minutes... not bad considering the 10-15 minute bottle neck of walking at the beginning.

London Marathon, here I come!

Hi Bakerboo

And well done you

I did it 10 days ago, first time ever, I started training for it but half way through I did my knee in

Had an x ray and it showed up Arthritus, so end of my running days.. but I managed to do the run in 45 mins, walk, jog, and like you a 15 minute bottle neck.

But it was a brillaint event, really enjoyed it all, roll on next year.
