My personal message:

I was sitting on the Tube this morning, thinking my same old thoughts, listening to the same old music I always listen to.  I happened to glace up and saw an advert for the Race for Life.

My immediate reaction was to wonder whether it was a marathon or a 5k, not that it mattered; I'm not in the habit of participating in either.  A few hours later, though, the advert wiggled its way back into my brain, and I searched out the Race for life on the internet.  Only 5k, phew.

I'm not sure why I feel so compelled to do this.  There are the obvious reasons, like the healthifying effects of having to train for this, and (of course) I want to raise money for a good cause.  But this one event of all the others has just 'clicked' with me, and I'm a fan of following intuition.

I'd be most pleased if you could support me in this.  It's a step outside my comfort zone, but maybe it will help prevent others from having to brave much scarier paths in the future.

Here's RfL's details:
