Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
SNAPPY has been a lifeline for us for the past 5 years since we moved to York. The Easter and Summer schemes mean that I can continue to work through the holidays without taking too much unpaid leave and the Saturday scheme gives me time to do all the stuff I can't do during the week when work etc. get in the way! Adam loves going to SNAPPY and is always tidying up when I go to pick him up - why can't he do that at home?
I am doing Jane Tomlinson's Run For All, 10k in York on 2 August 2009 in aid of SNAPPY. I am hoping to complete the run in under 1 hour 20 minutes which will be an achivement as I can just about manage 5k in 40 minutes and don't think I could keep going any further.
UPDATE on training (30-07-09) - training was going great until I got a throat infection which meant that I couldn't get out running for 3 weeks in June. I went back to training for 2 weeks before the schools broke up so haven't been able to get to the gym for the usual 3 sessions per week but have run outside 3 times in the last 2 weeks. I would say that I am ready and raring to go on Sunday but, really, I'm not. I'd love to have a couple more weeks to train so that I can increase my training distance, the furthest I've run outside is just over 2 miles in 30 minutes. I think I'll be running for 30 minutes and then doing intervals from 30 minutes out to the end. Then again, you never know, I may surprise myself and manage to keep going longer. What I do know is that I will keep going until I have finished the whole 10km course. I may even manage to run more than I think as the course on the way back out of town is downhill so I'll have done all the hard, uphill work in the first half.
For anyone who would like to come and support me, and the other runners (there'll be 5000 of us), the run starts at 9am from the Knavesmire and goes up Bishopthorpe Road into town, does a little circuit and then goes back down to the Knavesmire.
UPDATE 02.08.2009 - I have completed the run! WooHoo! I finished in a time of 1 hour 14 minutes which was fantastic. I was aiming for a time of 1 hour 20 minutes so am really pleased.
