6k race should I or should I not???

[shivashinn]

A friend of mine has invited me to join her on a 6k ladies race on the 1st of May. I am on week 6 and have just done run 1 and feeling great apart from the allergies due to pollen. Do you think I will be ready for it and survive or should I wait??

Hey now that's a good idea taking Laura with you, you just given me a great idea

[Tomas Graduate]

Of course you'll be ready for it! You know by now to stop and walk if it gets too much, and then to start running again after you have caught your breath. So do it, and be proud of the 6km, even if there's some walking in the middle of it.

I have decided to do it I am going to the Dr's tomorrow as I have to get a medical certifcate that says I am able to do this with no health risks and I will be doing my inscription and paying the fee tomorrow. It's a pink t-shirt race for Breast Cancer as my mum died of it I think it will motivate me too. So 1st of May here I come.
