I have entered the Hull Race for Life on 12th July. It will be my first race since graduating earlier in January. Plenty of time to improve on my 5k time. I was hoping to get out for a run tonight but the temperatures are near to freezing already so it will have to wait until tomorrow. Happy running everyone.

Hi. I'm several weeks yet from graduating but I have just received my 'number' for my first Race for Life in May. It has given me a boost and a reminder of why I'm doing the C25K!

Good for you, Girlyswot, sounds like a great plan. I'm sure you'll be running fab times by then. It's far too cold for me - I did my running on the treadmill today! Enjoy your run tomorrow
