Today I did a 5k race for life (cancer research fundraiser). I've completed c25k 2ce but never got to 5k. I stopped still to catch my breath at the top of a bank for a moment but I ran it all, albeit very very slowly. I'm pleased because it was hot! Thanks to all on here for your support. I thank you and so does the 16 year old kid inside who hated PE at school and was always at the back of any run! (I'm 50 now).

Congratulations 🎊 on your first 5k Race for Life. It's such a great achievement and a very worthy cause. It certainly was a hot day. You should feel very proud of yourself. This from another school sports-hater, now addicted to running at 71😂🏃‍♀️👏
