Good luck nellie, your be fine, the first race is always a bit daunting, but after your think what was i feeling so worried about i had so much fun.
Its good to be a bit nervous some times but just go out and do your best then your be happy with the result!!!
Iv got a 5km tomorrow, i want to get a pb of 22mins, so ill push myself whatever, suns going to be out as well so it will be hot running but ill push myself to the end FAST i hope

Good luck Nellie (Cracking day for your first race), you'll be fine, post back with the time

How did you go on your first race, i was really excited when i done mine just make sure you have a lovely hot bath when you get home. I didnt and i really gor very stiff and sore in the afternoon.

Hope it went well and you enjoyed it Nellie

Knock em dead Nellie - I always feel sick before my races. I forgot to pack my running shoes so I could go running on holiday :-(

well done, Nellie!
enjoy your drinks....

Brilliant thats great

fan...tas...tic!!! Well done Nellie <<raises bottle of Stella in congratulatory mode>>

And can I say... you are far braver than me picking a 5k for your first race! Generally. the shorter the race the faster the runners are that show up... respect to you!

and the problem with that is?


you now have the perfect excuse to find a running shop and buy some lovely new shiny running shoes

Well done Nellie, raising a glass to you as I type !!

Well done Nellie.
First race is always a great achievement and a pb too. Enter another race soon so you have something else to look forward to and keep up with the training.

Well done you, now it wasnt that bad was it!!!!
