We did it!

Saturday 31st Jan

31 days of running a mile a day to raise money for cancer research and  care   —  and on my last day I smashed my PR with an amazing time for me of 8:48!

Thank you to everyone who has supported me in memory of my friends Allison Busch & Bruce Wannell.

3 days to go

Wednesday 28th Jan
Nearly at the end of my challenge to run a mile a day to raise funds for cancer research and treatment in memory of my friends Allison and Bruce. 

Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey so far!

Today I ran my fastest time yet! Let's see if I can get this down further by day 31.

Day 18

Sunday 18th Jan
Just over half way and NEARLY at my fundraising goal! All jogs with dog should end in coffee

Smug face with whippet

One third of the way through my January challenge!

One third of the way through!

Saturday 10th Jan
Cancer is a cruel disease that will affect nearly all of us in our lifetimes, whether we ourselves suffer it or watch our loved ones go through it.

I’m now a third of the way through my January challenge to run a mile a day to help raise funds for cancer research and care throughthe Royal Marsden in memory of my friends Allison Busch and Bruce Wannell.

And three-quarters of the way to my modest fundraising goal!

Today I smashed through the 11 minutes barrier with my very very slow jogging! Please support my efforts and I will try every day to do better – except when I have to run with my very naughty whippet 😁

THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me so far, through giving to Royal Marsden, sending me kudos on Strava, and encouraging messages on social media.

Day 6 — running on ice!

Tuesday 6th Jan
Boy it's cold today! Running in my walking boots today because our roads aren't posh enough for council salt!

Day 4 — brrr it's cold

Sunday 4th Jan
Three days of successful running so far, and as a cold-weather enthusiast I've really been enjoying it. Today, however, we are waking up to -5 that feels like -8...I may be running in coat and gloves today!

Practice Run!

Monday 29th Dec
Just practised my 1 mile route for January — a VERY slow 14:49 mile time, but I took the dog, and had to stop four times to pick up poo plus multiple moments of jogging on the spot waiting for dog wees!

Running for Allison and Bruce

Saturday 27th Dec
I'm excited to get back out there in January and run to raise money for cancer research and treatment. I lost two beautiful friends to cancer in the past 8 years — Allison Busch and Bruce Wannell — and will be running (slowly :-D ) in their memory.

It's been a while since I've run consistently, so this will be a personal challenge to keep up as well. I'd like to run with my whippet, but he stops far too often to wee and I'm not sure that really counts as running!
