Having a couple of days off running til my asthma calms down-still up for the challenge though so please sponsor me

After the birth of our 3rd baby in October 2010 I wanted to get back into running to lose weight and feel like me again. Cormac's illness and op in the first half of 2011 meant that I had to postpone running til the end of 2011 as it was a tough time for us all and running took a back seat.

I finally started running in December 2011. Prior to this I had only really done treadmill running but, along with a few other Mum's I started running outside 3-4 times a week for varying distances with the aim of losing baby weight and getting fit. We're very lucky as we have the Trans Pennine Trail behind our houses so can run in some beautiful countryside.

I shall we running my first official 10k race on the 22nd April and decided that as well as completing this challenge I would try and raise some money for Sheffield Children's Hospital. We are very lucky to have this hospital close to us and most people I know have used or knows someone who's used the excellent facilities they provide.
