Hi all, hope Santa was good to everyone with running presents and you have been able to get our for some Christmas runs.

So I have made a start on this mad challenge to run 50 5ks in 50 days to raise money for the Children's Cancer Fund at Newcastle RVI, so far so good, I did run 7 yesterday, 7 days in the legs feel strong and the motivation is high.

I'm sure that the real challenge will come when I get back to work in January!!!.

I need 14 more km to hit my year target of 700km and 100 runs which will work out nicely on New year's eve then I am doing a double park run on New year's day (Newbiggin and Druridge Bay) to get 2019 off to a good start.

Run happy, run safe.

Wow, amazing achievements Chris 😮 I still need a rest day between runs - don’t think I could run every day!

Still early days but my legs feel fine, I think it's going to be more the mental battle once I am back at work, hoping all this will really strengthen the legs for long summer runs. X

Well Done you, I don’t think my body could do that yet. Do you get a day off to make up for the Parkrun double?
