Lynsey's Quarantine Treadmill Marathon (attempt!)

Quarantine Treadmill Marathon (attempt!) · 20 February 2021
21 days quarantine...locked in a strange place and without any physical human contact is a tough thing. Mostly it's getting through the long, lonely days and craving fresh air like never before. I want to look back and remember that I did something more than just 'survive' it.
I have been toying with the idea of a challenge to end my time here...and spurred on by a friend who wished me a Happy Lunar New Year and promptly asked, 'Is it the year of the chicken?' (haha!)...as I hadn't committed to the challenge! I have now!
I am going to attempt to run a marathon (most likely I'll end up walking!!) on my very basic treadmill, "Lillymill"...I would like you to sponsor me for a particular KM (my running machine is KM only)...so you have your choice 1 to 42.195KM... I only want you to pay when I can prove that I hit the distance!! So make pledges on Facebook/Insta (old school style) and then sponsor me on Sat 20th Feb as I hit the KMs!
I have decided to raise funds for NHS Charities Together...I know I don't need to say anymore on this choice!
This is going to be a tough challenge, I am underprepared and although I have done two marathons...I spent months getting my body ready for those. The furthest I have run on Lillymill is 10km, and walked 21km one Sunday, split over two parts of the day! The treadmill is small, maxes at 10km/hour, and switches off after 99mins! Ha Ha! It's certainly not a marathon machine!!
So this is a challenge! I'll make my attempt on Day 21 of my quarantine! Eeeeeeek! Let's give it a go! You only live once eh?
Love, Lynz x
