As stated previously in a post now lost in the ether, I am participating in the annual Race for Life. This is a 5k race run (or walked, in my instance!) by women, to raise money for Cancer Research UK. I have been wanting to do this for years and decided to go for it this year. So on Sunday, 14 June, I shall be racing for life in Basildon, Essex.
I foolishly thought this will spur me to get off my arse and train properly. Unfortunately, despite the best wills in the world, it didn’t quite turn out that way! No excuses. My race partner and I have decided we are just going to wing it. (May be we’ll glug Red Bull prior to the start!) As I walk that distance (it is 1.5 miles to P’s school) everyday, I am not worried but my only desire was to jog it. Oh well.
So far, the Spouse has put up half of my pledged amount of £50. Can I entreat you, my loving reader, to shell out a £1 for this cause? Needless to say, it is for a good cause.
Aww, best of luck! Sounds exciting. When is it?
I missed out on the Mini Marathon this June (sprained the ankle, then sprained it again before it could heal…..*shrug) but will be giving it a go next year for sure.
My race is on June 14th, MJ – Sunday.
Too bad about your race. Did you start training for it? Sraikh pointed me towards some excellent podcasts for training. Let me know if you are interested and I will forward you the links.
