We wanted a challenge... We've never ran at distance before, so of course it made sense to sign up for a marathon. And a trail marathon at that! We're running 26 miles, up and down hills in the lakes, on June 6th.

Training hasn't been smooth! Our knees are feeling it, we've had to slow down, do strengthening work, rebuild the distances.. and we've got less than two months to go! Every long run is a new personal best distance wise for us, and then follows crossed fingers that our legs will hold up to continue!

So, a challenge indeed. And we've decided to raise money for Open Door in Colne. A fantastic charity, doing amazing things every day for people in the community facing their own challenges. Check out the Facebook page to hear about the things that are going on there. It's devastating to realise that so many people are still really struggling to live, cope and get by... But so heartwarming to read about the ways in which the gang at Open Door are there to help.

Every £ helps. Helps keep us going, but helps keep real people going.

So please, give what you can, or share and spread the word. It's all appreciated ❤️
