I have talked about doing the Race for Life for the past few years, but never got round to signing up. Not this year though! Somehow this weekend I found lots of motivation and courage and have signed myself up for the Race for Life 5k race in Warrington in July. I have never run before but have over the last few weeks been trying to improve my diet and fitness and so I thought what the heck in for a penny in for a pound as they say. I am not sure I will be able to run the course but I will certainly try jogging it! Good luck to everyone else Jo    Report

My mum talked me into it about 3 weeks ago and is now starting to regret it as we are both really unfit! We have started low-level training and are still walk/running but are really enjoying it and definitely getting fitter. Although mum will insist on running in full make-up with her hands in her pockets much to my disgust! Mum is really worried about completing the 5K but I have tried to explain to her that there will be no shame if we have to walk it (just plenty of ribbing later!) There is an added stress as I have to sneak out of the house so my 2 year old doesn't Anyway, good luck and I look forward to hearing your tales from the Warrington event. Emma xx    Report
