Great North Run

I'm fundraising for...

Over 10 million people in the UK have arthritis. By taking on the Great North Run and fundraising, we are helping work towards something we all want, a future free from arthritis! 

My Achievements

My Updates

Nearly Time!!

Friday 4th Sep
Training has been going really well. Up to 18k now. Have had a slight niggle in my knee so a rest over the last few days (under advise from lovely Kiera @ Bradley Physio) and a 5k done pain free yesterday.  Longer run to do at the weekend and then tapering and carb loading :)
So grateful for everyone's donations, it has really helped spur me on and raising for such a brilliant charity. 

Onwards and upwards

Wednesday 20th May
10k race done on Sunday - a hard hilly course but done and pretty much pain free. Planning on building on this now to get race ready for September!!

Injured :(

Tuesday 31st Mar
So my training has been pretty much on hold for a couple of months as I've had an SI joint problem which after lots of physio from the lovely Kiera at Bradley Physio, some strength training and starting pilates, I am finally on the mend.
I've managed a few short runs at the pace of a snail but its a start and I'm hoping to build on this and get back to where I want to be.
I've a 10k race in May with Liv I'm hoping to do, keep everything crossed for me!!

Why I’m running

Friday 26th Sep
My mum had rheumatoid arthritis from before I was born. She died age 47 and I was privileged to have her as my mum for 21 years. In that time she struggled every single day with the pain and difficulties in trying to just live her life. She was the bravest person I have ever known, she never complained and lived her life to the fullest. She has been and always will be my inspiration and my hero. If I can do this run in the city I was born in and raise some money towards a worthy cause I will be so happy!
