Race for Life

I can't believe how different I feel now that we live here. My friend Lynsey is doing the London marathon and instead of my ususal thought process "she is so admirable for doing something like this but I could never do it.." I have thought "she is so admirable for doing somthing like this. 26 miles is too far for me because I'm not a runner buit I could probably manage a shorter event if I put a lot of effort into training" And then I saw an advert for race for life (www.raceforlife.org) which is 5km. Furthermore, my Mum has had breast cancer and the proceeds go to breast cancer research, so I'm doing it!!!! They have one in Southampton on 16th July - so I have a little while to train. Sonia is going to do it with me (I think she's still in shock from my suggestion!)

The downside to it is that I can't start training yet because I have a bad back/neck. I saw the physio yesterday and she said it's probably caused by too much time sat at a computer! So my ebay time has got to be limited!!! Furthermore, this entry has got to be brief! - no typing allowed!! The physio thinks I'll be able to start training in a few weeks, so I'll still be OK for July.

Wish me luck!
