I did it!!!   10k in just over 1 hour 20 mins - my target.   Won't be doing it again but glad to have raised so much money for Macmillan.  

So appropriate that it was Father's Day - I am sure Dad would have been proud of me - challenging myself and helping others in the process.

Thanks for everyone's support - I appreciate every single bit.

As many of you know my father, Ray Whittaker, sadly passed away in October last year after a short battle with lung cancer.

Following this, I made two decisions:  I needed to get fitter and I wanted to support Macmillan Cancer who have provided so much help and support to the family during Dad's struggle with cancer.

As always being the multi-tasker I decided to combine the two -  so I am running in the Macmillan 10K run in June - quite appropriately and totally co-incidentally on Father's Day.  

Dad would always be one to help others no matter what they needed and to encourage you to set  yourself a challenge - so it's his inspiration that helped me to make the decision to do this.    It really is a challenge - the training has started... I have the aching legs to prove it.

I ask you to sponsor me please, and help me give something back to this amazing charity.

Easter Monday - managed to run around Clissold Park three times today - just under 5K! So very excited to run this far... 10K still seems so daunting!  Thanks to running partner Ed Cooke - for his continued support in running with me

Day after the General Election - Well the election is over...we don't have a government quite yet... so now back to being a dedicated runner again!     Back on the case full time.   Off for 5k run in the morning.

 

Last long run yesterday - with lss than a week to go - the final straight - looking forward to Sunday, achieving my goal and a hopefully a very large glass of wine to celebrate!   Anyone who wants to come along - Regents Park at 10am on Sunday.
