Keep on running

[bluespirit]

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...

I'd highly recommend an iPod - it's the only thing that gets me through my 30 minutes on the elliptical machine and then 30 minutes doing weights. One day I got to the gym, changed clothes, and discovered it wasn't charged, and I only lasted about 15 minutes. God, that's so pathetic, lol.

Bless he looks so fabulous and I love the story about him not liking giving stuff back. I always love Rascal stories though! Well done you for the running and for running for charity :-)

You're inspiritional you know...

I haven't run in anything since I left school. Team sports were just more my thing than running, but I need to get fitter so your reminders help urge me on to greater things.

I go to the gym on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays - forced into it by the doctor after the diabetes diagnosis in 2003, I wasn't really looking forward to having a regime of training but I can truly say it has made me feel so much better. I'm still not much of a runner but I want to give myself something to aim for so I may go in for the local Macmillan fun run in June...

in the meantime I want to sponsor you for your two events please.
Can you put me down for a fiver for each event?

Then let me know when you want the money in.

HUGS and keep on running - glad to hear your knee isn't playing up.

I think that's wonderful that you're entering these charity events. It's a great way to combine helping yourself with helping others as well.

I'm coming along with my exercising too. 10 pounds down last month, and I'm hoping I can duplicate or even exceed that this month. Fingers crossed!

I have one of those medals, I took part in the The Flora Light Challenge running for the British Heart Foundation, a charity very close to me because of my mum, well actually I ended up walking due to ill health but still I was just happy to make it to the end ;p

Good luck with the runs hun, it's a wonderful thing you are doing. *Hugs*

Yay looking forward to reading more from you.

Hi Rascal!

[pecos.livejournal.com]

I'd love to sponsor you, but I'm not in the UK. Is there some way I could PayPal to someone over there and get it to you?

[nieninque121.livejournal.com]

I think it's amazing you're devoting your time to all these charities.
good luck with everything.
*huggles you*
