Sponsor me the Traditional way. (sort of)

Ok, so not everyone wants to use the clicky links & put card details into the internet & while I'm certain no one REALLY thinks I'll fail, some people prefer to be traditional & pledge the money & then donate after the event is actually completed.

It's no secret that I'm rubbish with bit of paper & I'm quite nervous about loosing an actual sponsor form, so of you'd prefer to sponsor me the traditional way, then please do so.

Either, add a comment either below or through the Facebook thingy on the left, you don't need your full name I'll work out who's who. Or drop me a txt, and email, a message on Facebook & I'll add your name to the virtual sponsor form! If you pledge a specific amount the Virgin site lets me add the pledge to the running total & will even work out how much Gift Aid you'll be adding too!

THANK YOU!

Lazy Days & a Big Thank you!

So I haven't actually done any running for about 2 weeks, I've been uber lazy recently. In fact the last running I did was the 5K around the park.

A combination of overnight shifts at work (yes there really are people who buy Footlong Subs at 3am!) and a cold have kept me out of my running kit. Sorry.
 

So I have one more night shift tonight, and I PROMIS I'll run on Monday afternoon.

On a nicer note I want to say a GIANT Thank You to Lelia, George, Michael & Helen! My latest sponsors, bringing my Running total to £44.85 (in Gift Aid) 

If you'd like to sponsor me please click the Links below, and don't forget to click the Gift Aid buttons, every extra penny to Heart Research UK counts!

DAY 13 - 5KM (37:20)

PHEW! That was hard work, but fun.
Ok, so I didn't run all or it. I did 4 intevals, and I walked approx 1.1K of the whole 5.
The whole distance went like this;
Ran - 1K - Felt horrible, got jumped on, twice, by an excited dog & had to run up a hill!
Walk - 300m
Ran - 700m - in hindsight probably could have pushed myself and gone a bit further, but that Dog had lapped me & was comming back for more
Walk - 400m
Ran 1.2K -  this was great,
Walk - 400m
Ran the Final Kilometer, buy kept counting down the final meters, and it started to rain pretty much as soon as this interval began.... but Lance Armstrong told me how great my workout was once I completed it! (thanks to Nike+ the last time it was back in Decemeber, when Paula Radcliffe told me my training was going well! Obviolusly this is a pre recorded thing an a feature of the Nike+ gizmo, but it still makes me smile even more when they pop up & cheer you on!)

I actually punched the air once I completed the 5K, I was well chuffed with myself.

Then I almost had to run to nursery to pick up my daughter from nursery!
 

DAY 12 - 1.73KM (15:10 min)

Just a quick & cold run today. Was up at 4am with tummy pain, how daft does that sound. But still, poor nights sleep does not make for a happy me the next morning.

Still, I did a lap of the park, in the cold!

DAY 11 3.36KM (30:08 min)

A sneaky run squeezed between work & picking up my daughter from nursery.

Quite nice, a few too many people walking dogs to tell truth, but quite nice.
Todays better, was better than yesterdays better! Only a meter or two, but better all the same.

Day 10 - 3.34KM (29:38 min)

Todays running, My Better was better than "your" Better.

so I've probably mentioned the Yellow Gate. Reaching the Yellow Gate is the start of the run, this ends my warm up & is the point where I get my wiggle on.
It's 700m from the Yellow Gate to the Rose Garden... That was my better.
Today contained 2 sets of "from the Yellow Gate..."
2nd time round My Better is Better than the old better - 900m continuous pace run. 

Sorry, check out the vid below, if you wander what's spawned all the silly and daft "My better..." 




TUESDAYS BETTER WILL BE BETTER THAN YOUR BETTER.
