Hello Friends and Frenemies,

Firstly thank you so much for visiting my just giving page. I am running a 5k race in July for Barnardo's who are an amazing charity who strive towards improving the lives of children. Barnardos believe that with the right help, committed support and a little belief, even the most vulnerable children can turn their lives around.

I originally suggested this as a team charity run, however it turns out I am the only Airline and Gaming team member who actually registered to do the race!

The plan is, 3 weeks to get fit, or fit enough to run (JOG) around the course and survive. Unfortunately my training has been somewhat delayed due to hen do's, 30ths, weddings and mini-holidays. I did of course take the time to get in some lengthy shopping trips and I am sure I have more than covered the 5K. :oS

So, I am about to embark on a not so pleasent, intense training plan that I have devised with the help of "coolrunning" online. If you see me out running (attempting too) feel free to wave/ laugh/ beep/ cry (delete as appropriate).

Feel free to add any words of wisdom or advise...

...wish me good luck, dig deep and please donate.

Thanks a million,

Cole xxx
