I am taking on the Cheltenham 10K for Cheltenham Animal Shelter. I've chosen the shelter as we adopted our cats from the shelter.

The shelter has been helping animals from across Gloucestershire since 1926. They rescue abandoned strays who have nowhere else to go, rehome pets from owners who can no longer look after them for a variety of reasons, provide low cost vet care for people on low incomes, rehome Police and Guide Dog retirees and deliver an innovative events programme including paw for reading and paws for wellbeing.

I've never ran as far as 10k before! Here's how the training has been going so far;

October 23 - 3k, 25 minutes

November 23 - 4k, 30 minutes

December 4.5k, 33 minutes

January 24 - 5k, 37 minutes

February 24 - 5k, 35 minutes

March 24 - 6k, 43 minutes

April 24 - 7k, 53 minutes

May 24 - 8k, 60 minutes

June 24 - 9k, 60 minutes
