2011 Race for Life!

[LollipopViolet]

Hi everyone!

I'm doing Race for Life in September, just had my pack through in the post. Anyone else doing it? I'm trying to lose a couple of stone before then, as even though me and my mate will only be walking it, I'm using it as an incentive, to look nice in any photos we take etc!

Also, if anyone's done it before, what's it like? What happens? How did you feel by the end?

So join me ladies, as we Race for Life!

Hi
I've not signed up for it yet, but i usually do it in a couple of diff local places each yr.
Its good fun, get there about an hour before and get involved in the group warm ups etc, its such a buzz, and as its all women its really nice. The first year i tried to run but only managed to run about half of it. The second year i was 6 months pregnant and walked it and came last! The guy with the microphone at the finish line gave me some banter for that one!
And last year a group of about ten of us went and most of them were competative and wanted to run etc but about 4 of us were happy just to walk and chat and every now n then broke out in to a jog.
Cos its not that long u feel fine at the end, usual the last bit to the finish line i pick up pace so get a lil out of breath at end but apart from when pregnant never had any probs the next day (i was on crutches after that for remainer of pregnancy! played hell with SPD!!)

I agree it's such a great atmosphere and such a good cause.
I did it for the first time last year with my 8 year old daughter and we will be running again this year.
I say run,..... I had to to keep up with her
