About me.

Lets get things into perspective.

I don't run. In fact, sometimes I struggle to walk. I have arthritis in my knees and back and I am overweight. By quite a lot.

So why have I decided to run a 10K event?

Well, in the space of a month, my friend's partner and then another close friend have found out that they have cancer. Both dont deserve to have to face this.

This is my way of showing support and hopefully to raise money for Cancer Research. Hopefully by documenting my journey, I can stay focused and encourage people to stay interested enough to sponsor me on this epic adventure.
DAY 3 - 24 May 2013
Karen

Today a young lady called Karen Huxley
 did an amazing thing.

Today she had her head shaved live on The Wave fm in support of Jeannette who is currently having treatment for cancer.

Baldy Karen
You can see the photos on here. Doesnt she look great without hair?

Karen is also raising money for Cancer Research and her 'Just Giving' site can be found  here if you feel inspired enough to donate.

Rhydd and Jeanette
This is my friend Rhydd with the lovely Jeannette.
 Now, personally I really think Rhydd could have shown a little bit more commitment. As he's obviously already bald, my suggestion of him doing a 'sponsered comb over' was met with a withering look.

 Just as well he's redeeming himself by agreeing to run with us dressed in a TUTU. Way to go RHYDD!!!!! You da man :)

Anyway, day 3 of training , and this is what I learnt this time.

1) The cheapo 6 year old Peacocks sports bra does not really cut it anymore. This run was completed wearing no less than 3 bras. These puppies need a bit of support.

2) I need to take a tissue with me when I run. My nose runs faster than I do. Snot mixed with tears makes my hair stick to my face and is in no way a pleasant sight for the unsuspecting general public.

3) Maybe time to get a new running partner. Dear husband's wittisms such as 'I find it really difficult to run this slow' and 'look!! 2 snails have just overtaken you!' is NOT inspiring and is NOT encouragement.
