Just thought I'd let you know I'm doing my first 5k race on Sunday for Keech cottage hospice. I'm so excited. My husbands doing it with me.

Thank you. It's a Santa run so we get a Santa suit to wear when we run.

The night before the race you won't be able to sleep and you'll get butterflies. It's just an incredible feeling when you've signed up for a race and when the time comes for you to cross the start line there's a wonderful feeling of responsibility to yourself and just a little fear of failure. But you won't fail because like everyone else here, you will now that you've put in the hours on the road and you're ready. this will be the first of many such runs I'm sure.

Come on G1ggles, show them what you've got. we're all with you!

Thanks Rob. Don't know about the night before I couldn't sleep last night. I know when I'm doing my run you'll all be cheering me on.

Good luck! I did my 1st sponsored run for the local hospice in October. I got a bit caught up in the initial surge and ended up going much faster than I usual do when I run on my own. Next time I will be right at the back so I don't get swept along. Despite that I enjoyed it and hope you do to!
