Why am I here?
 

So, i'm "new" though I've been here before but not for a very looooooooong time.

anyway, i decided yesterday I want to do race for life this year. it won't be the first time, i've done it before but not for a few years now. my mum's gonna do it with me cos i asked her this morning (she usually does it anyway).

But anyway, i kind of have ulterior motives for this.

i have a gym membership that i'm bad at using and it costs me a lot each month. so the way i see it, if i'm working towards something like this then it'll make me want to go cos you know, i'd love to jog the course this year instead of walk around it.

i'm even thinking of asking the trainers at the gym to set me something that'll help me to get ready for it rathe than just me going on the treadmill and everything else that i can do.

So, i might need some support and you guys have been great in the past so here i am again!

btw i'm rachel, aged 24 and weigh about 20 stone.

Rachel, welcome back! :welcome:
Sounds like you're getting back on track... your plans sound good!

Wow. thats amazing. I know you can do it, as well as I'm sure you know you could do it! You just have to put your mind to it, and make it your ultimate goal.. I would love to race international next year... I've only got 85 more lbs to lose... Maybe we can race together. ;)
