I wasnt particularly looking forward to the run as it had been raining all week and the track is mainly grass and woodland and from previous experience it can be slippery and very muddy.
We arrived at the course in plenty of time and I met up with a friend and had a bit of a natter.

| This is me ready to go! |
I got a bit frustrated with the wait. We were due to start at 11 but people were still arriving so the start time was put off till 11:30. It is really frustrating when you have made the effort to get there early and other people cant be bothered to get there on time (but thats another blog post!!)
Anyway we finally got the go ahead to start and I joined the jogging group. We set off and as usual there is a small bit of jogging then everyone bunches up and we have to walk for a bit! Then we got round the corner, out of sight of the public and the majority of the joggers decided to walk, Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh why join the jogging group is 2 mins later you are going to walk!! I then had to spend ages weaving in and out of people walking, chatting on their mobile phones *sigh*.
Finally I managed to get up a bit of a rhythm and was enjoying the run when I came to another bottle neck!! There was a puddle in the gateway and everyone was faffing about trying to find ways through it, in the end i got so fed up I just went straight through the middle of it an carried on. I was doing really well until I faced my nemesis.... a freshly mowed field. I suffer really badly with hayfever (great when you live you a farm!) and as I was running around the field I could feel my chest getting tighter and tighter until in the end I had to stop and walk. From then on I had to do a mixture of running and walking.
As I was running through the last bit of woodland, singing away to myself in my head, I felt a tap on my shoulder so i took my headphones off and turned around. A lady had been running behind me and had been reading my back plate and said she had to stop me and give me a hug!!! Bless her! This made me very emotional, how lovely for someone I had never even met to feel compelled to give me a hug!

Coming out of the woodlands meant there was only 500m left until the finish line! Seeing people lined up along the route cheering and willing you on really helps with the motivation and im pleased to say it was a sprint finish!!! I finished in 45 mins which is an okish time. I had hoped to do better but the pollen got the better of me on the day but still, I FINISHED!!! and I have made a difference to someones life. How amazing is that!!

So there we have it! Its all over and done with and the total so far is £1020 in sponsorship money. I have been promised more donations so hopefully I can bring you an updated total soon. So far this year I have raised £2820 for charity, not a bad total for little me! How nice it would be to get to the £3000 mark.....hmmmmm (light bulb switches on above head!)

ReplyDeleteI was so very sick when I came across someone telling a story of his life on how Dr Itua gave his dead life back to her, Her Name was Achima Abelard A Germany lady.
Dr Itua helped me to cure my Bladder cancer, I took his treatment for 3 weeks and I was cured completely. He resides in west Africa but I ordered his herbal medicines through Mail which I received within 5 days. I was also instructed on how I will drink it for 3 weeks to cure which I did totally. I'm well now.
I think this Dr Itua is A GOD sent from heaven because i have heard several times that there is no cure but Dr Itua surprises me, put joy on my face.if you are suffering from,Bladder cancer,Throat cancer,Thyroid Cancer,Uterine cancer,Fibroid,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis,Brain Tumor,Fibromyalgia,Multiple myeloma,Leukemia,Liver cancer,Esophageal cancer,Gallbladder cancer,Gestational trophoblastic disease,Head and neck cancer,Hodgkin lymphoma
