Disaster has happened - I can't do this race due to an opperation that I have to have the week before!  Don't despare I will find another run to do once I'm back to my full health - I promise to make sure I do a run so that your donations have been earned!  So sorry but this won't stop me running just delay me slightly! x

Spraggle Rocks wacky races!

It dawned on me around new year that I was lacking in challenges, I mean besides being stupidly busy at work, trying to study for my CIPs qualification and maintain a healthy social life I really didn't think I had enough going on in my life so it seemed like 2009 was the perfect year to start training to do a 10k run!

Based on my lack of ability to run further than the end of the road (and that only happens when I'm chasing an ice cream van) I thought I would try my hand at running the Manchester 10k run.

I started with 5 minutes on the treadmill and 20 minutes in the Sauna to recover and have slowly been pushing myself to increase my distance and time.  Running is no easy task with knees like mine I tell you, but that aside I reckon I will be able to finish the race in a half decent time and on my own feet rather than being carried!

So if you feel like giving me a bit of support please 'just give' a little and help the Cystic Fibrosis Trust to carry on being able to do all the wonderful work they do for CF suffers and their families.

Love and soppy stuff

PS For those of you wondering I haven't donated and bigged myself up, I have a friend called Helen Spragg, you honestly couldn't make this stuff up!!!!!
