W2r3 complete and actually contemplating cancer research 5k!

Amazing what a difference a little bit of sunshine does! Felt so motivated today even after only managing an hours sleep (1hr 14mins I’d been precise and that was broken!)

Totally smashed it and felt like I could do some more (not much more, and only 90s running at a time mind! Lol) AND instead of thinking omg it’s a lovely day loads of people will be out, I felt more like ooh what a lovely day for a run!

I never ever in a million years thought I would seriously enter a 5k run. Even 2 weeks ago my intention was to complete the C25K and then aim to continue to build on that but purely for personal exercise. Now I’m actually toying with the idea of entering race for life. My fellas mum has cancer for the 3rd time and unfortunately I don’t think she’ll get over it this time. Not something I would say to his family, but having worked in care for years before my job know, you kinda know. I hope I’m wrong!. It won’t make her any better I know but raising the money might go a little way to helping others.

Still a little bit nervous about it but the seed is planted so watch this space!

Week 3 and more contemplation here we come!! Happy running people. Hope it’s all going well

Sometimes it’s great to be wrong... here’s hoping you are. Sign up and have fun on that run raising money for a good cause. If it comes before you’re at 5k then run/walk it, you won’t be alone in doing that... charity runs tend to have a lot of people doing just that.

Great job on week 2... enjoy week 3.

Go you! I was only a few weeks in when I started thinking about running for charity n that’s a great one, especially when it’s something so personal to you. Here’s hoping your fella’s mum comes through the treatment ok 🤞🤞🤞
