    I signed up to do my local race about 2 weeks ago. Last week I decided to break my foot. Looks like I'm not gonna get much training in for my race!!

    Oh, no :eek: :eek: :eek: I did that 4 years ago. Can you walk or wheelchair it?

    I've been out this morning - lovely weather, and no-one around.

    Hi,
    I was under the impression that anyone can do race for life aslong as they are female so my daughter who is 9 said she wanted to join in doing race for life. Ive just gone onto the website to sign her up but when I got to the putting your DOB in in only goes back to 1989...so you have to be 18 to do it?? Is this a new thing then? Because my daughter says that some of her friends from school went along with their mums to do it last year!?

    really good run tonight. distance wise this 5k thing is seeming a slightly more realistic target with each passing training session :j

    how's everyone else getting on?

    Is it just me or is the fundraising page really buggy? I can't edit my personal message!

    She can do it. My 14yo is running with me. However, she can't do it alone, so has to register along with an 18yo (or older).
