Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Kath & Lisa work together in the Ruia Group HR department.
Many a monday morning we have discussed the weekends frivolities; eating too much, exercising too little and declaring that this week is gonna be THE week when we get fit!!! We watched the great achievement of thousands of London Marathon Runners this year, wishing that we too could one day take part in this truly remarkable event.
Well that day has come! Well not quite that day..... However, we are making a start with the Manchester 10K (6 mile ish) run on the 16th May 2010, precisely 4 weeks away.... We have been training hard (some more than others) and have gone from shuffling along for 1-2 mintues, gasping for breath & praying the fast response th'ambulance would happen along, to quietly & confidently being able to go at a slightly faster pace, while holding a conversation.....not bad, I hear you say!
We are hopeing to raise money for the Pennine Acute Hospital, Breast Cancer Units as we feel this is a very worthy cause and very close to our hearts. We will do our utmost to finish this (FUN?) run and raise as much money as possible in the meantime.
Lisa has completed a similar event in the past so there are high hopes for her this time!
