I'm fundraising for...

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page for my Royal Parks Half Marathon! Over 10 million people in the UK live with arthritis, affecting their ability to work, study, care for family, move free from pain and live independently. But arthritis is still poorly understood and far too little is done. That’s why Arthritis UK funds life-changing research, supports those affected and campaigns for change. Arthritis UK won’t rest until everyone with arthritis has access to the treatments and support they need to live the life they choose, with real hope of a cure in the future.

Training Session Goal 5k

Saturday 2nd May
Today focused on building stamina and distance. Got to 5k non-stop but took just u see hour so lot more work to do. Incorporated strength exercises and weights, with interval cycle ride for half hour included.   Want to build on distance non-stop and also stay to do external runs with treadmill too.  



The Power of Action

Saturday 2nd May
As I contemplate whether to do this challenge and whether there is ever a good time to do this, I recognise sometimes you just have to go for it.  I’m totally out of my comfort zone on this but hey you gotta be in it to win it 🤪. Inspired by both my daughters I’ve joined the family team to raise funds for Arthritis UK.  My oldest daughter is diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and has just completed her 4th marathon, with more planned on behalf of Arthritis UK, this year and next. They both truly inspire me with both their drive to overcome personal barriers and their grit to change how society sees those struggling with hidden disabilities. I can relate having my own challenges diagnosed with Lupus. Running reminds me that even in my weakest moments you are strong - and life at the moment feels very much like one big challenge. Day one in my training plan let’s see what my baseline is and build from there.
