The beginning of the addiction.
So how did I get into running? Well I wanted to do a sky
dive for charity and couldn't find one that you could pick your own charity for
or one that you didn't have to pledge thousands of pounds for, [will blog about
sponsorships some other time] so I started looking around what else I could do.
To fund-raise and discovered a local fun run which was 5k, so throughout I would
give it a go… and low and behold, started running and fell in love with it!
That was April time last year on my 24th birthday,
decided on that day that before I reached 25 I would make a difference to
someone. Something I hoe I've achieved.
Before this I was a complete couch potato, occasionally
getting off my bottom to play on the Wii. But even then found you could play
that whilst on the couch so It was a major undertaking for me. So how did I train? I began with a programme called couch to 5k app on my phone, however that began to get on my nerves a
bit too much..[thick it was the dog randomly barking] so just began to run for
a long as I could then walk for 10-mins then run as far as I could then walk etc.
till I was home [on the same route in a massive circle, and slowly began to cut
down on the walking time in between and increased the running time. i have to say though i'm still quite a slow runner/jogger, hoping to improve over the year.
I have recently broken my toe [ouch!] so been out of running
for a while so beginning over, My first run is on the 26th of January, a little 5k to kick off the new year anyone interested in joining me can sign up over here being organised for Royal Linda McCartney center! played a vital part in my family so all for a good cause. will let you know how i get on
And as you can see by now i have managed to put a button on the right hand side of your screen to my donation page! every penny counts and all support very much needed and every penny counts! [by the end of the year i may come up with a little slogan to go with all the running]
