Story

On sunday i’ll be sweating my way through 13.1 10 minute miles.

I’m asking for your sponsorship to support me

 

I’m running for Mind. A charity that believes, just like I do, that life is about mind over matter. They work to help people who have fallen from the path. They do good things. They are about making the world a happier place to live in. That's pretty important.

 

I have given it everything i’ve got. I got up at six.  I watched blister grow between my toes. My legs turned to liquid in the mid summer heat. I ran in the rain, the pouring rain. I hiked up those hills in Hampstead.  I sprinted round Park Runs (on a saturday morning) . I read runners world (!) On sundays I switched snoozing for ten miles, before breakfast!  I pounded pavements. I gave thanks to my knees, again. I got lost.  I foam rolled. I ran home in the dark.  I wore lycra and high vis rain coat on the street. Together. All at the same time. I went to the pub and ordered a lemonade! Surely there is a reason in here to sponser me. 

Any sponsorship would be greatly appreciated, and if you like, if you could suggest a track for the ultimate running playlist, think rocky theme tune, something motivational, uplifting, upbeat..anything really to drown out the sound of my own panting breath and my legs screaming at my head to stop. When I hear it. I’ll think of you and hopefully remind myself it’s about mind over matter.

Thank you for your support.
