Hi! Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page... I've never done this before but I'm excited!

I have decided to get involved in this years Hull 10k and just to make things clear right away, this is all pretty unfamiliar territory. I've never ran 10k before, the closest thing being was a colour run of 5km a long time ago which mainly involved clowning around, throwing a lot of glow in the dark powder and wearing an array of neon glow sticks! :)

I did it then for then fun of it but this time around it's a little different. I'm a 34 year old woman who finds herself increasingly wanting to focus more and more on my health and fitness, both physically and mentally.

When friends said they were signing up, I figured this was the perfect way to challenge both my mind and my body. For me this is not about speed, I'm really not a runner but a jogger at best (and that's generous). I’ve started a little training and the run is 19 weeks from starting this page... on April 19th in Hull.

I hope I can make it! I'd love for you to support both me and my chosen local charity, Hull & East Yorkshire Mind who provide mental health services to people in my part of the world.
