I've only ran one 10k before, back home last year on what would have been mum's 60th birthday. My knees don't take to long distances, or I'd be running half-marathons by now! When I got involved in talks of this challenge however, I knew I had found my next 10k with a purpose.

There's just 6 of us, and our dogs, raising money for a small local charity. Their dedication and hard work of DAWGS is important to homeless, abandoned and unwanted dogs in the north-east of Scotland. It's the small charities such as this that are really making the difference for pups in need of a proper home.

Gille and I are getting into training, we started with 3k down the road and back at home. Now we are up to paced 6k this week, and a speedy 4k. We are aiming to complete this challenge in a good time and in good condition (pfft!), so if you want to join us for a run while we're training, you're more than welcome, just get in touch!

Any donations are hugely appreciated, as the higher the amount has been getting, the more determined I am to doing it! Thanks for your support! xx
