There's quite a bit of loony c25kers running antics going on at the moment... Increasing distances, races being run and signed up for, ideas floating about for a C25k running meet and the joining of running clubs! Actual proper local running clubs for people that run.. :)

I have news too... Signed up for my first 5k race :) a race for life 15 Jul in Derby... :)

I'll be running with my best friend Emma, the one who is responsible for encouraging me and getting me to try running by showing me the C25k podcasts.

makes ya smile this place doesn't it :)

Well done you! I'm doing a corporate challenge on 11 July (Battersea Park) with colleagues from work.

I am loving this forum & the encouragement from everyone for whatever your challenge is! Still smiling and think will be for a while yet :)

Good luck Bxster. In a very good cause. Makes you feel so much better being able to run it than walk.

Thinking but only thinking at the moment of doing a park run....

Well done on signing up for the Race For Life!!! I do this race every year but have always walked it.... This year is the year that I'm running it!! Mines on the 10th June and I'm really hoping that it goes well considering I'm injured at the mo - which is extremely frustrating!!! Good luck with it, cancer research needs us cos without event such as the Race For Life we wouldn't be able to kick cancer in the a$$!!!

Well done for signing up to such a good cause. As lucylou says cancer research needs every penny possible. My OH is a survivor. :)
