W4R1...I did it!!

[Cakerunner]

I can't quite believe I can run for 5 straight minutes...twice! I have caught the bug....I shall wear my sweaty hair, red face and very wet running shoes with pride!

Also, I realised something today, I realised, in order to dig deep enough to keep going when it gets hard, I need a cause. When I started this lark, as a person who used to say the only good reason to run was if someone was chasing you with a knife, I don't think I ever really believed I would be able to do it....but I signed up to do the 5k Pretty Muddy Race for Life. I've done it for a couple if years but never been able to run it.....this is my year! This year I shall not only run it, I shall rock it!! And next year? 10k Pretty Muddy maybe?? Who knows.....what I know, is that I'm running for a reason, however hard it gets to keep going, it won't ever be as hard as fighting cancer.......thats what keeps me going when it's tough........
