I haven't run regularly for some time and I need to kick start the routine again! Besides its a big birthday for me in September and I need a coping strategy!  Now I know that endurance runners would think nothing of a 65 mile run, but I can't go out and do it all at once so I am going to spread it over the month.  Finding the determination and discipline to resume running several times a week will be the biggest challenge for me and then of course, being sensible to avoid injury will come into it too.  I am determined and inspired and hope to achieve my goal with your encouragement I am sure I will.

I am raising funds for a great cause too.  Humanimal Trust drives collaboration between vets, doctors and researchers so that all humans and animals benefit from sustainable, medical progress but not at the expense of an animal’s life. This is One Medicine. Advances in both human and animal medicine can be achieved more quickly, if there is closer collaboration and mutual learning. If we miss this opportunity we will all pay the price in wasted time, wasted money and the wasted lives of both humans and animals.  Check out their website www.humanimaltrust.org.uk and you will understand.  

Please help me to get to the end of my challenge.  It will mean a lot if you sponsor me and I will be very grateful.

Oh yes, and if you like running and would be happy to go out with a plodder, then feel free to join me sometime too!
