Today I ran 10k, been working out since the 2nd of Jan and have lost 4 stone 13 lbs (69 pounds).

I decided to do this 7 weeks ago to raise money for Brain Cancer research as my brother in law Gary was diagnosed with a brain tumor on his 44th birthday in June 2011 and has been fighting ever since.

    I have my first-ever race in a month, and it's only 5k but I'm nervous and excited for it, so I'm VERY impressed with you doing 10k as your first!! Well done :)
