Hi all, I'm in week 3 of training plan & didn't really enjoy week 2. My friend has just asked if I want to do a race for life 5k in June which would be the Sunday of my 9th week. Do you think I should just go for it and sign myself up for the challenge or see how I get on over the next couple of weeks?

Yes definitely. It gives you something to aim for. It isn't about the run as you can walk it too. In fact lots do walk it and it's all in aid of a good cause.

Go for it. Race 4 life is a great experience even for walkers. Please believe me when I say that if you stick to the C25k program you will achieve the aim and will start to look forward to the next run.
