I have decided that I am going to enter the race for life there is a 10k one local to me in june or a 5k one in may might do 5k first and see how it goes but it is giving me the motivation I need right now not been running for a few years now might take a while to clear the cob webs lol!!!

Sounds like a great idea Make sure you start off slowly though and don't rush it or you cold hurt yourself.
Good luck

Good for you, I agree, do the 5k first. The fact you are doing a race with others will carry you along. Start by a short jog followed by walking, repeat etc and gradually increase the jog time and decrease the walk time and in a few weeks you will surprise yourself how quickly you improve.
Good luck!

looking forward to the challenge I did run the edinburgh marathon a few yrs ago (and a few stone lighter!) so hopefully I should be ok just feel I need a challenge now to keep me going and raising money for charity at the same time as getting fit seems a pretty good challenge to me xx
