To give you a little background, despite trying to “keep fit” as most people do, lifting the odd weight or two … the last time I really did any serious “running” was when I was at school over 26 years ago! … and that was way before the aches and pains of being 42 with a back complaint! So, I set about on a “couch to 5K” program … I had to upgrade to the 10k program! Presently I am at the 8 week stage of the 14 week program … so far I have hit my first major milestone of 5K (half way there). My second time at a 5k was on Saturday at the local “parkrun”, where I plodded in at a respectable and steady 31 minutes My training should finish around 2 weeks before the rat race in August … by then I will be prepared for a 10k run however, in between will be obstacles such as wading through river rapids the wrong way, swimming across the Tees, Kayaking (something new to me), crawling, jumping, climbing Newport bridge … and finally culminating with a 6mtr jump from the Captain Cook replica ship; HM Bark Endeavour My run was initially a personal challenge however; a tragedy occurred to one of our close friends … a tragedy that my family sadly knows only too well. It was with this in mind I decided to run4mya … please read the “about” page or scroll down and read earlier posts to find out more I am seeking sponsorships/donations that will go toward a lasting memorial for Mya … please give generously
