getting a cold and my race for life is in 1 week, help

[bex17]

I absolutely feeling rough. Ive got my race for life that Ive been working towards a week Sunday. Starting to panic now as Ive already had to stop my training for 3 weeks after my skin cancer op so Im not where I wanted to be by the time my race for life comes round so it looks like Im going to be walking it mostly. Feeling very disapointed in my self right now.
I will be carrying on till I finish this program tho, I am determinded to become a competant runner that can complete a full 5k.

[Not a runner-yet!]

Don't be discouraged! My gosh it sounds like you've had reasons for pausing your training. By even entering your 5K you are doing so much more that many people. If you need to run/walk, that's perfectly fine! This won't be your last race, it's only the start of many! Go and do your best and be proud of what you accomplish! Let us know how it goes!

I agree, well done on getting this far, get plenty of rest, fluids and vitamin c and hopefully you'll be fit for next week. Your still doing more than most people.

You're doing fantastic, you can do the race for life walking/running/hopping if you like it doesn't matter how,you'll get there. If you keep up with the program just think how easy it will be next year. Rest up a bit and good luck in the race tell us how you get on
