If anyone missed the 5km Race for Life runs in the summer, or doing one of the runs gave them the running bug, they should enter the Tree-athlon.
There are two runs - one is in Battersea Park and for northerners, it's in Cannock Chase Forest, Birmingham
From the messages I've had from them there will be a number of activities during the day for non runners, especially kids. So please register (I'm doing the run! I managed to run 4km last night for the first time without a stop, so with 4 weeks to go, I think I'll be OK!) and do the run.. it's worth it and it's not far. Walk at a reasonable pace and it will take under an hour and you'll still be raising money for a good cause - planting trees in places that need them! After all, trees provide life.

Well, I did it.... and within my 30 mins target time. Yes, I know that for the fitter people out there, that's not a brilliant time, but for someone who couldn't run the length of the road not so long ago, I don't think it's bad going. If anyone has any recommendations of other 5km runs that take place either later this year or early next I'd be interested to know - one more 5km, then I'll try for a 10 km! (ambitious, I know)
