Slight return

So I've been off the Race For Life radar for a while - partly because of my mum being diagnosed and treated for brain cancer but also because I've been harbouring a little secret.

I'm currently coming up to the end of the first trimester of my pregnancy with my second child. I'm due on Christmas Day and have been rolling with the punches of morning sickness that lasts all day, dizzy spells and constant unfightable tiredness.

This means training has been completely off the agenda for me. And to be honest, I'm wondering if I'll make it round any distance of course this year never mind a 10km for which I'll be ill prepared!

My plan at the moment is to do some light training this week while I'm off work (working on my university dissertation *sigh*) and see how it goes. I really don't want to pull out of taking part this year. Some of that is my competitive streak (last year it drove me to run days after having swine 'flu) but also because it is a need rather than simply a want to raise money and complete the course because of my mum's condition.

Obviously I can't risk my own health now I'm pregnant and if I can't take part so be it but at the moment I still fully intend to do a Race for Life even if it can't be the 10km.

So, give me even more reason to start doing what I can training wise and hand over your money - you can sponsor me online.
