Couch to 5k Run on Sunday

Hello everyone

I thought that I should take this time to say that the whole reason I am on MFP is because I am running a 5k race (this Sunday - eeeep). I started the couch to 5K programme (the 6 week one) and it has transformed me into a massive exercise and calorie control lunatic (ok maybe not to that extreme, but I do eat better).

The reason I am running the 5k is because my little Cousin unfortunately passed away last December days before his 15th birthday. He had cardiomyopathy but no one knew about it so his death was a shock and very upsetting time for the family.
I wanted to do something productive to remember him (hence the run) while also raising money for the Cardiomyopathy Association. The fact that I have NEVER ran before (except for the bus, which I usually then miss) means this is a big challenge for me!
If you have any spare pennies then please sponsor me for this run (link below)! I would really appreciate it! And good luck to all those who are also embarking on a 5k soon!
Thanks guys:
