Hiya,

I was wondering if anyone is planning to run in a Race for Life this year?

I thinking of running in one of the edinburgh ones, but I'm not sure which. I'm assuming the one at Hopetoun House is flatter than the one around Holyrood, but that's not really an issue since I live on top of a hill, so all my runs have uphills and downhills - no flat bits though

I will be entering the Bedford RFL. It was great last year with a lovely route as they managed to get one road shut off and the rest of the route was around the embankment and parks.
So come on you girls sign up as there is bound to be one near you!!!!

If any one is running the Race for Life at Coombe Park in Coventry.. I would love to hear from them, as I am and its my first time

hi dawnie.... i supported my wife at coventry R4L last year, although it was at the memorial park. she's not down to do it this year tho'.

i hear mixed reviews about R4L but even i was impressed with the atmosphere.

 

[Dawnie]

Cant wait... I'm really looking forward to it, but everyone I know is running at the memorial park not Coombe Abbey, so looks like I will be on my own

 

[ed_m]

i'm sure coombe will be much nicer than the memorial park... i run through there regularly

Dawnie one thing you can guarantee about a R4L is that you will never be alone but surrounded by 100s and 1000s of women. It gets quite emotional reading peoples messages!!

Sounds like the place to be!

 

[Steady Edwina]

My husband didn't seem to mind watchin either. Maybe it was all those women doing aerobics at the start??

 

[Dawnie]

Well Steve... come along and give me some support... I'll need it !!

 

[Steve]

I would Dawnie but Coventry is a bit of a trek from here!
I'll be with you in spirit though!

im a non runner at the moment, and im hoping to enter the july 1st in thanet kent. cant wait all girls together

 

[Dawnie]

Go for it MM.. I was a non runner until I entered the R4L I can now manage about 4 miles, admittedly not very fast, but I can get round !!

 

[ed_m]

sounds like you're doing great dawnie.

 

[Dawnie]

I'm doing my best Ed... would just like it to start getting a bit easier !! lol

But I am really enjoying it, specially when I can get outside for a run, just a shame there is no one local who I can go running with, have to make do with my own company !

 

[Steady Edwina]

It does eventually Dawnie - hang in there.

I'm doing the race for life in Oldham this year in June, ive wanted to do it for a couple of years and never got round to it. I started training in January and ive found it really addictive. I had a running partner but recently lost her(not in a bad way) so started going it alone and its not so bad, there's no one holding me back now. Funnily enough i bought a R4L t-shirt today so i'm really excited.:d
