I signed up for a 5km run at my university for charity, paid the money and then realised I couldn't run. I started doing the Couch to 5k podcasts to try to get a bit fitter and graduated just in time. Yesterday I ran the full 30 minutes without stopping and this morning (even with a bit of a hangover!) I completed the fun run in 32 minutes! So proud of my medal Now the plan is to get my time under 30 minutes and lose some weight before Christmas...

I did a 5k charity run last Saturday, don't they have the best atmosphere! I was really happy about my medal too! Like you I really want to get my time under 30 mins and the race has definitely given me the motivation to do it! Happy running Rachel

Yeah - such a great atmosphere We even had guys from the Pirate Society motivating us along the way by threatening to make us 'walk the plank' if we stopped running! Happy running to you too
