Race for Life 5K Run for Cancer Research

Girls only!!

If you are interested in getting fit for the Summer and supporting a good cause at the same time, and just having a good day out with your mates, a good start might be to enter one of the Cancer Research 5K walk/runs taking place in the Spring and Summer.

I entered one of the London events last year. Speaking as someone who is somewhat unfit, I was worried. I didn’t need to be. On the day the atmosphere was great. Lots of people who enter have had some brush with cancer — either themselves, or have close friends or relatives who have suffered or are suffering. You can tell from the messages some of the entrants have pinned to them. They are moving, but uplifting at the same time. There was a real sense of solidarity and team spirit and fun.

We had an aerobics warm-up — ha ha! And then we set off. People ran, jogged, walked, crawled, and danced around the course — so if you’re not up for running the whole distance, believe me, you are not alone! I did it! And I got a medal and a goody bag too.

All in all I would recommend it. It’s great to feel as though you’re doing something worthwhile and perhaps I am just a little bit healthier too! Someone bring me a bar of chocolate.
