I've decided to do something completely out of character. I'm going to be entering the race for life in Warwick! Now, as regular readers will note, i am very unfit and not at all used to exercise, but something in me has really felt inspired to do this. I have a timer, and i'm going to be downloading the suggested training plan. My goal is to finish it, nothing more. I am not planning for a time, or even to run a certain percentage of it. Just finish, as even this will be a massive achievement for me.

If you would like to sponsor me,
here is a link to my offical race for life page. I know that it will really encourage me, if you could spare even a few pence.

I hope to write in here about how my training is going. This is the year that I am going to go and do new things and push myself. 5km may seem like much, but when you are 7 stone overweight, it is huge.

I'm away this weekend, but next weekend i'm going to make a foray to a running shop to look at getting proper running shoes. With my knee and ankle injuries, i think it's only sensible. Trouble is, being so short i'll need childrens shoes. Do they even do them?
