Hi all,

I have NEVER been a runner. In May I had chicken pox for the first time at 27 and signed up to a race for life whilst I had a fever (I know v strange thing to do).

I started to train in mid May and ran from scratch.

Today I did a race for life 5k for cancer research UK in 28 mins.

Yes 28 mins. I was aiming for 35.

I am so so so proud of myself.

Awesome! I did my first 5k a couple weeks ago. I did it in 22:18 but it almost killed me. The night before the race I was talking to a friend about it, and she said "you look like you could do it in what...22 minutes?" so then I felt like I had to do it.. lol

They're a lot of fun, though, and I'm going to be doing a lot more of them.

Thank you everyone. The next one I will aim to do in 25 minutes!
