I ran 5km EVERY DAY IN MAY last year, and let me tell you, it was a real challenge. Both in continual exercise, and in finding the time for the workout. This year, modifications to the rules of participating mean that I can do anything self-propelled, so I might add a bit of swimming (harder) and cycling (easier) to the mix. But for an additional challenge, I will also be running a marathon at the end of May, and invite you to sponsor me for both challenges at the same time. The added challenge for the marathon is that I haven't done adequate training for it, so survival will be key. Hope you can help my efforts by encouraging me with sponsorship for this really important charity and support its efforts in helping cancer patients.
