Story

2nd May update:

I did it! After several months first learning how to run, then progressing from round the block to 10km, we finally completed our 10k yesterday. It was a very early start, but encouraged by my fabulous family and wonderful friends, all four of us ran our best and completed our race. It wasn't easy - but then it wasn't meant to be, but I have definitely enjoyed my little challenge and will try and keep up the running - once the blisters have healed!
Thank you all so much for your support for me and Great Ormond Street! xx

Hi All,

For 2010 I thought I would set myself a challenge to run 10km for Great Ormond Street.

Great Ormond Street is a charity that is very dear to me and my family, as I’m sure most of you already know my lil’ sis Myah was very poorly as a baby and they did a great job at looking after her and supporting my parents. They continue to do great work and I hope this little contribution from me (with your help) will help them to carry this on.

This run is a big challenge for me as I am not a naturally fit person, training is going well although I nearly passed out when I ran 5km with Jackson on Saturday, so still have a way to go!

So on 1st May I am running this 10k with 3 wonderful friends who volunteered to do it too, Jackson, Sarah and James. Please feel free to come along and give us a cheer and have a giggle at my red face.

With Love

Zena

Hi All,

I thought I would add a little update to let you know how my running training is going (ha ha). Actually it is going surprisingly well at the moment, I have joined the running club at my gym and did the sport relief 3 miles at the weekend as a practice. After a few weeks of feeling like I am never going to be able to run round the block let alone 10K I can run now for about half an hour without stopping and I am more determined than ever that I will run the whole 10km.

Wish me luck! xx
