Story

I am looking for people to sponsor my run. Will I find 100 people who will donate 1 cent for every km?

Hi, I am a nearly 36 year old mother of 3 from Germany. In march 2016 I joined in MPC. I was morbidly obese and had reached my highest weight ever. With the support of my fellow peakers, a nutritionist and a personal trainer I was able to drop a lot of weight. I am still overweight but no longer obese. Last year I did a sponsored weight dropping to support Bloodwise. Because there is not much more weight to loose, I thought about other opportunities. During MPC2016 I fell in love with running. In December I tried a 10k for the first time. But because of a groin strain I could not run the whole  track.

The groin is healed now but I have to start running training from the beginning. I am slow at the moment, very slow. And if I want to go running I am always depending on others to take care for my children. The plan is to run 5km three times a week. I have to build up endurance again, strength and a better pace. And I have to do all these things with my normal everyday life including my husband, the household, a part time job as a kindergarten-teacher and the everyday madness with three little children.

Wish me luck!

Due to my first cold this year I am already behind the schedule.

******UPDATE******

In the meantime I was working very hard on my eating disorder that lead to my overweight. I came to the point now where I can't go on any longer. I am looking for a traumatologist helping me. Feeling completely exhausted with a lack of sleep and magnesium and a sciatica. Due to that I stopped running and will stop running for a while. I haven't decided yet if I will just take more time to get 750km done or if I will try to do as much as possible until the end of the year.

I'm so sorry!

***UPDATE NO.2***

With tears in my eyes I have to admit that my challenge for this year is over. No more running for me. I had several doctors appointments but we don't know for sure what is wrong. If it is depression caused by a very early beginning of the menopause or just hormones in disbalance. The future will show. Fact is, that I've reached my absolute physical and mental limit. I can't. I just can't.

Bloodwise would be very pleased if you would appreciate it with a donation. They are doing a great job and I supported them with everything I had to give.
