I did that 5k race for life last summer. !!!!!! me, i was the last out of all my friends!! I ran probably 40% of it, and walked the rest.
I say train as much as you can and see how far you go, set the bar high and aim to run it. I bet if you seriously started now you could run that by the time july comes round.0 -
I do notice now the more chocolate i eat the more i want it, and if i have one bit thats it the seal has broken and i want more the next day.
But then, life is precious, im not obese so to deny myself one of lifes little pleasures would be sad and miserable.0 -

Also, Me and my MIL are on about doing the race for life in memory of her mother who died of the big 'c' at the start of December. Now, I want to run it and I have the C25k in 9 weeks programe. However... When I mentioned I would like to run it to DH he near about died by choking on his coffee. Do you think I am being too hopful? I am 16st13 and the race is in July. The race its self is 5k. Would it look odd seeing a fat chick running along the prom? Would I be better walking it this year and running it next year? - Honest oppinions please!
ETanny, if I saw you I would give you an extra big cheer for doing it whether you were walking or running! :TA diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit!:rotfl:

I would applaud you too - although it's named the race for life - it's for everyone - many people walk - even Paula Radcliffe walked it either last year or the year before (she walked with her Mother who threatened her health if she ran off - and if I remember she was pregnant/injured at the time too).0 -
