    Hey, I haven't signed up yet but will be soon! Can't wait for it. I'm currently doing C25K with Race for Life as my goal :)

    I'm going to do the 5K in Richmond on the 30th June 2013!
    I'm already doing the 5K in 39 minutes now (after never been running in my life...) but I wanna do it in under 30 minutes on the day itself!

    My PB is 35, it's quite hard on the day with so many others there. Great atmosphere though.
    Was thinking of practicing with some Park Runs too.
    Haven't done a RFL for 3 years but have so far done 6.
    Should be taking part in the Cambridge race, maybe one year I'll be brave enough for the 10k

    I will be doing the Race for Life on the 7th July, at Mote Park in Maidstone :)

    I did my first one last year, took around 45minutes, so I would love to get that down to 40minutes.

    I started the c25k again on Sunday, and this will be the preparation I do!

    I've entered the Southend one which is in May, it will be my third one, the other two were at Basildon and Brentwood.

    I regularly run 5ks on the road, my PB is 25:34, but that will be difficult to beat during a RFL as the races are usually more like cross-countries on grass and softer ground.

    I'm doing my first RfL this summer in Oxford. I have run lots of 5ks before so just getting involved. I really value CRUK as a charity but the women only RfL thing strikes me as a bit sexist. Men get breast cancer as well, and also want to support breast cancer research. Hmph.
