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 20 - 10 June 2013 - Ang

Next I would like to introduce you to Ang.
Weeble

Now Ang has rather foolishly neglected to send me over some photographs, so I have had to trawl through Facebook.

 Tut, tut, she should know me better by now, although as Ang is my boss, I suppose I'd better be kind!!

Hmmm, so Deb wants to add a bit about "me" to the blog....oh dear...I'm not naturally funny, well not funny "haha" anyway...as my dear mum likes to tell me!

So, where to begin.  I've done some running before, not like our Rhydd, no marathons, but I've done a few 5ks to raise money for charity.  What you have to bear in mind with me is I'm short, and fat, and unlike Weebles, when I wobble I do fall down...a lot!!

So a couple of years ago, I bought snazzy new trainers which support my feet and help me to stay upright - you have to admire them for working so hard in the face of such adversity - and they have helped. 


 I happen to like running, but, well it's been a couple of years now so I know it's going to hurt...which is why my first few training sessions will be confined to the safety of the treadmill..in the gym..


Thus far, my training has been confined to some limb limbering walks - but, with only a little over 3 months to go, my first "run" is tomorrow, the phone is charged, playlist ready and mini dictator downloaded and ready to bark orders at me..suppose I'd better try and remember the more amusing bits for Deb so she can blog away....maybe for my first session I'll just try and remember to stay upright...

  1. Surely it's "Ange" and not "Ang". "Ang" would be pronounced to rhyme with "hang", surely. The presence of an "e" would denote a soft "g". Just saying.

  2. Well, Rhydderch, Ang is an anagram of Nag. Sometimes you need to think outside of the box. Just saying :)
