I was planning to do another Big Walk fundraising event this summer, but it was cancelled due to Covid-19. When Big30 campaign was launched I thought what would be a 'proper challenge' for me... There was only one answer: running. I don't want to run.

I like to stroll in local woods and trails with my dog Boris. Walking is relaxing and makes me very happy. But my Big 30 challenge is to jog/run 100k in June, from Endcliffe Park to Forge Dam every other day. You are right to be concerned... will I make it? Will Boris make it? 

As it happens I missed some running on week 3 due to niggling shin pain, but I've been doing fitness at home instead, to make up for missing runs. See my progress updates below... Will I complete the 100K running challenge? We'll see on 30th June...

Please note times below are total times, not running times: I don't have running watch, and I don't get the phone out when we stop to say hello to friends, to play and paddle... actual running times are on strava app, averaging around 11-12 minute per mile.
