I've never been much of a runner, but after a few months stomping over
the dirt tracks of West Bromwich and Aberystwyth i thought i could
raise some money for a good cause with this new hobby of mine. So I've
set myself the challenge of running the 'On Your Marks For Little
Hearts' 10k on Sunday 11th October for the charity Little Hearts Matter.
Then
i began to think i could take this a little further, so i've decided to
set myself the challenge of running 1000k over the next 12 months to
raise my goal of £1000. I'm starting Sunday the 11th October and i have
until this time next year to reach my goal, which breaks down to an
average of 19.23k per week, or 2.73k per day.
During this year
I'll measure all the running i do, both training and organised runs,
tracking my progress in this blog with images taken whilst i run and
maps from mapmyrun.com
That's the challenge. So please help me raise money for Little Hearts Matter. Follow the link to Just Giving where you can donate whatever amount you can afford to help me reach my goal.
