Keep on running
I went for a nice run this morning - it was a bit nippy but the sun was shining & my knee behaved itself. :-)
I'm stepping up my training at the mo & trying to get back some speed.
*crosses fingers*
I think that I really need to get an iPod or something like that as my discman is on its last legs & keeps skipping & cutting out on me. But as my LJ annual renewal is due next week & I've just paid some race fees (see below) I think this will have to wait. I do love running with music though, it really helps to keep my pace up. :-)
In other running news, I've signed up to run the Hydro Active Challenge in Sept again (it used to be known as the Flora Light Challenge).
It's only a 5K & I've run it for the past two years. It's a lot of fun & I run in aid of The Blue Cross animal charity.
Here's Rascal modelling my medal from last year. (g)
I've also signed up for the Race for Life 5K in June. This is in aid of Cancer Research UK & I'll be running in memory of my dear, dear Nan, Rosie. ♥
Hopefully I'll be able to raise a decent amount for each of these excellent charities & I'm also looking out for other races to try to raise more. :-)
Okay - back to writing an Orli companion piece to Discovery...

Re: Sponsors....
32lbs...woo go you
I need to lose another 76lbs to be the 'correct' weight
have lost nearly 20lb (but still a size 20) so not too bad, but then I was absolutely huge to begin with ... as you know. Still huge, but less huge than before
Need to do lots of practise re running, still get winded to easily, especially once hay fever season starts (like now)
but as you say a fun run is a good start.
HUGS to you and the money will be winging its way to you shortly.

Re: Sponsors....
I hope you have a great time with the fun run - plus you can always walk if you find yourself too winded.
Thanks again for the sponsorship - though you can wait until I've actually done it if you prefer. :-)
