The running advent challenge: 1km December 1st, 2km December 2nd… to 24km on December 24th. The total km run in 3.5weeks is 300km!
I embarked on the running advent challenge as a pick me up during a difficult time. I have been in a bit of a physical activity rut because of a mental health low point and was just looking to get out and do some activity each day.
I never imagined I would reach the end, or it would help my motivation and self confidence so much.
I think of my aunt Anna, who we lost to breast cancer a few years ago, when I run as she inspired us to start running 5kms when we were kids. (And paced me to my first sub 60min 10km at 15 years old!)
I’m hugely proud of the achievement so far and so want to thank Anna’s memory for bringing running into our lives. I set out to raise my spirits not money but any donations to one of Anna’s favourite charities would make this achievement so special. 💖
