Race for life

Hi last week I blogged about my foot and what I think is a bunion, well I rested for a week and did the Folkestone Race For Life on Sunday. I was slower probably because it was on pavements and I normally run along the canal path I finished in 40 minutes although I walked for about 1minute so I could sip some water. I have raised about £110 so I am really pleased. I'm not sure if the 40 minutes included one straight run of 30 mins so I need to do three runs for week 9. I do intend to save, have my gait analysed and get some new trainers which might help. Thankyou all for the encouragement.
