I've gone and done it!

[jackie__1981]

I've signed up for the Race for Life!!!!!

It might not sound like much but I am a size 24 and haven't jogged at all in about 8 years!!

I've ordered some new trainers and will start training at the end of the week. I am going to start by walking one minute, and jogging one and repeating that for 15 minutes. And gradually increasing the jogging part.

I'm hoping it will also keep me on the straight and narrow to follow weight watchers. I have lost 10lb so far but have been struggling this last couple of weeks. I've got a goal now, I will not show myself up by quitting half way so I am determined to get training and lose some weight!

I am running at Temple Newsham on the 18th of May

Well done you, I did it last year with my daughter, she dashed off ahead of me but slowly slowly wins the race and I was thrilled when I finished you feel fantastic with everyone cheering you on at the finish line.

Enjoy the day, its great fun looking at all the costumes people wear

Good luck

I remember being made to run round the school field in shorts and a thin t-shirt on a winters day... punishment indeed! I've never run since...

But I do wish you all the very best with your training!

[jackie__1981]

Thanks everyone, I will let you know how the training goes. I will be getting up early and doing it on a morning. I am a morning person and would never be able to do it at night. I normally get up at 5.45am every day but it will be 5.15 on training days LOL.

Well Done

I do the race for life every year and walk it dressed in fancy dress, in Newport, its great fun, well apart from last year when it just rained the whole way around and we were sliding around in the mud, a few fell over and hurt themselves.

Good Luck with it and enjoy yourselves
