Race for Life
Today a few ladies from work and I did the Wirral Race for Life.
The temperature was in the high 20s and the day was extremely hot. Not so good when you leave your water at home in the fridge and have to buy a warm one for £1.50!!
I was going to walk/jog with Jo and her daughter Holly but when we got separated at the start I walked with Joan.
Joan is a lovely lady. A cancer survivor herself who did her first RFL 8 years ago whilst still undergoing Chemo. Joan walks very slowly!!
Jo and Holly managed the 5K (and the heat) in 54 minutes. Joan and I did it in 1hr 8 minutes. I would have liked to have beaten my long standing record of 51 minutes but didn't feel that I could abandon poor Joan to walk alone :)
We're all set for next year and thought we might do the 10k walk or even the Pretty Muddy Challenge the day before. Or both!!
