Race for Life my first official 5K achieved yahoooooooooo

[magster]

This has been an amazing day. My goal in March was to run the Race for Life with my daughter, that was before I had heard about C25K. I have to say that without this programme and all your amazing support I really dont think I would have run all the way round today. The going was quite tough with roads and very long grass (at least 6 inches long!!!) but I just kept thinking that I was not going to stop as I wanted to be able to blog that I had done it! I have ended up with a blister on my foot but that is such a small price to pay. As for my time............38 mins not bad for an oldie.

Well done!!! were you in Darlington? x

[magster Graduate in reply to ClaireB1973]

No Bristol on Clifton Downs - it was a bit chilly1

[ClaireB1973 Graduate in reply to magster]

I used to live in Bristol isnt that where they fly kites? I did Darlington Race for Life today and it sounded as wet and muddy as yours - 6" grass in our fields too and the BIGGEST ddandelion leaves ive ever seen... all I could think of was " ooh my guinea pigs wpould love those!" xx

Awesome, well done! You're definitely an inspiration to me (still rather new to this, and on week 2).

This is a great programme, if I can do it then anyone can The furthest that I could run was 100yds when I was at school and now I can run 5K it really is amazing and all thanks to Laura and the community who have supported me throughout as they will you. Keep running and enjoy
