Back in the Running

I've decided it's high time I dusted off my running shoes and got my fitness levels up to scratch. I've not done any real exercise since the Hydroactive Women's Challenge 2006 when I was 5 weeks pregnant. Pregnancy more or less destroyed my energy levels and since Francis was born I haven't really had the time to devote to exercise. Now Francis is only breastfeeding on waking and before bed I don't have to worry about leaving his side so may be able to squeeze some exercise in at weekends. Anyone up for a jog around Sefton Park? Rob?

As when I first started exercising I have decided I need an incentive to get me going so have entered this years Race for Life. I did my first Race for Life in 2005 in under 30 minutes and would like to repeat that performance. Actually I'd love to beat my 5k personal best of 27m 52s but maybe that's pushing my luck a bit!

I've set up a webpage so that people can sponsor me easily (hint hint...) and hope to raise as much money as possible as it will probably be the only run I do this year. Please dig deep and help me reach my target!
