After being a dyed in the wool exercise denier for basically my entire life, for reasons unknown, last May I decided to start doing the Couch to 5K programme. Shockingly, it worked! Not only did I conquer my fear of running, I completed the programme and actually realised I quite enjoyed it.
So I've carried on, a few Parkruns here and there and regular runs in the week. Given that this year is the tenth birthday of my very own company Minerva Arts, I figured what better reason to give my first 10K a try?
The full staff team is all taking part in '10' related challenges and this is mine. I'll try and post some updates on training and hopefully I'll get plenty of support to complete a challenge that I never in a million years thought I would be able to do.
Just in case you don't know, I set up Minerva Arts back in 2009 with my friend Hayley when we were a bit lost in terms of how to find for doing what we wanted to do- running arts projects with young people. We navigated the challenging 'cultural desert' years in Chester taking over our Youth Theatre in 2011 and running bits and pieces of projects here and there. 10 years down the line we have 8 Youth Theatres, 6 staff members and projects happening all across Cheshire West and East. But the more opportunities come through the door, the harder we have to work to sustain them and to make sure that we can continue to offer our work for the lowest cost possible and the highest quality. So please take a moment to support us this year and help us make sure that we can carry on for another ten years- it means a lot.
