From an invitation to join a friend in a 5k race for life 6 years ago today, to a medal rack that is seriously complaining about the weight it's carrying - the best slippery slope ever!
Little did I realise just how powerful that experience would prove to be. I posted a 'race report' in the C25K forum here healthunlocked.com/couchto5...
I came home by train with my new medal round my neck, grinning and feeling absolutely awesome about myself. Looking back, I see I immediately signed up to the London Landmarks Half Marathon and then joined this forum and introduced myself as a wannabe HMer healthunlocked.com/marathon......!!!
The rest is fabulous, glorious, happy history and I might just buy a second medal hanger to celebrate!
Yep, I admit it (though you probably already guessed) - I am addicted to races!!! In a very good way of course 😍

That is one heck of a haul Linda!!Some familiar names to greet you on to the HM page. Happy Race Runniversary; so glad that you stuck with it….and flourished 💐💐💐
I got an email yesterday congratulating me on the 6th anniversary of my 1st ever parkrun, which I did the week after completing C25k in 35.18, rather slower than your Race for Life! I too have a groaning medal hanger and desperately need a new one. Who would ever have imagined eh? xx
