I finished the British 10K!



I ran the British 10K run last Sunday for Rainbow Trust who are a charity that provides practical and emotional support to families who have a child with a life threatening or terminal illness. See Rainbow Trust

I raised £660 :) See my sponsorship page

I decided I would do it about 6 weeks previous and thought with plenty of training that it would be ok once I did maybe 3 runs a week. I only ever managed at most 2 runs a week, which were long enough, but didn't think I was fully prepared. A run with Dad while I was home gave me some confidence and I managed to cross the finish line in 1 hour 10 minutes! Delighted with it but also delighted that it is now over! :) It was very tough.



Some photos of the run and my supporters - Jim, Angela and Nell!
