Since my darling husband bought me a pair of running shoes in 2013, I promised him I would do a 10k......3years of procrastination later, he entered me in the Bristol 10k and said 'you're doing it'! Love is......!
So 2016 is the year I've finally pulled on my running shoes, and back in Jan, started the couch to 5k programme. Thanks to my running buddy Michelle, I've been out training in all weathers, temperatures and times! Its been a tough challenge, especially finding/ prioritising the time to run, amongst the business of family life.
So May 15th is almost upon us.....and if you wanted to sponsor me, I'm raising money for the Baby Bank Network Bristol , an amazing new charity that is collecting and re-distributing pre-loved baby equipment to families in Bristol who find themselves without the means to provide even the basics for a new baby.
In fact they have been overwhelmed with donated items from the generous parents of Bristol that they actually need money to pay for storage, and buy new items such as mattresses (that need to be new).
If you can spare a few quid, it would really encourage me on May 15th. It will be my first ever running event, and the longest distance I will have ever run (and am likely to ever run - I'm not sure I've caught the 'bug').
Thank you.
