Anybody here doing the run 2moz?

me and my friend are doing it, cant wait.

I'm doing it too!

Was excited; now am dead nervous as I've been running by time not distance, i.e. for 30 minutes. Yesterday I actually clocked 3 miles and ran that, and it took 36. I nearly fell over!!!

But some people walk it all, others run/walk and I believe some people even race, so - who cares?!

Good luck Shelley!! :thumbsup: Anyone else?

Well, We have only managed 2 miles without stoping and nearly died! when we go out running we do 2 miles in 20 mins so about 30 mins sounds about right for 3 miles. Think we will be gentle jogging/stoping and starting.

Good luck also.

You'll be amazed just how much the buzz of the occasion gives you a lift. You'll easily get round, and you'll be floating on air for a day or two.

You might find it hard to walk and your toes might have gone black, but you'll still float on air!

Good luck! :clap:

What's the race for life? its the first time i have heard of it :) good luck to everyone running in it.

im doing it too, but walking as im doing it in a group of friends and one is 8 months pregnant so i thought id waddle along with her!

Why is it for women only again?

CONGRATULATIONS to all of us that did it!!! How did you do, Shelley and Charlie?

I found it such an emotional occasion, with all the "in memory of" and "in celebration of" signs and photos on people's backs - and people running it with their kids, or for friends, or for themselves as survivors - my eyes were filling up at the start!!!!

RichK, you were right - it was such a buzz being surrounded by 5000 women and cheering supporters - I know it lifted my performance, not that it was about that but I ran the whole 5k without a walk break for the first time ever!!!

Jon - it's a women-only 5k national race event in aid of Cancer Research. It was at the Don Valley Bowl this morning ;0)

Sheffield Fox - it's a women-only event because it's in aid of cancers that affect women, and because traditionally women were less likely to be found running in races than men - so it's women-only to encourage us and to have a supportive, co-operative atmosphere, rather than a competitive one. It's more about celebration and a lot of people walk it.

Cancer Research do men-only events too - think it's cycling rather than running because of the links with testicular cancer.

Anyway - YAY FOR US!!!!!!!!!!!!

wahooooo was brill!! really enjoyed it. We stoped twice for a little walk and did it in 35 mins so we were very happy with that.

Will def do again next year and think we r doing the one in graves park this june as well.

Well done everybody else.

Hi,
We did it also ( me, my daughter and my sister in law) finished in 40 mins, first race, absolutly great. Well done to all those took park. A very worthy cause,

Congratulations to everyone who took part. I will be running the race for life in Huddersfield in June as there was no room at Sheffield. So I've got a bit longer to train. I can only manage about two miles at the moment without stopping, so wish me luck.

good luck. We had only ran 2 miles without stopping before we did it as well and only stoped twice on sunday.:thumbsup:
