The tee shirt arrived and fits... 50 of us are running this in park runs all over the UK this weekend for a colleague who completed all 22 NI park runs raising over £15k but sadly is now unable to continue. We’re over the £3k mark 👍

Work combined this with a C25k programme and help and support for those starting out, very proud of my NI colleagues at BT for pulling this together

I hope it’s okay to put a link, if not please remove it for me

Race morning has come and the ankle is still quite painful so it’s strapped up and as protected as I can get it. Today is going to be a walk shuffle as the last thing I want to do is completely ruin recovery on my ankle. If it wasn’t a charity run I’d be sitting with it up and applying ice ☹️

Nice morning for a shuffle though 😊

Hope the ankle bears up Cliff. Good luck 🍀

We hit our target and raised over £5k between us so very pleased.

On a less promising note I’ve been to the GP as I’m still unable to run on it, have been doing RICE and have been told it’s not broken but the probably some tendon damage. There’s lots of clicking and popping noises ... going to a trusted Osteo tomorrow for some further advice ☹️

That's great about the fundraising but awful about the ankle. Rest up, take all the doc's advice, and I'm sure in the grand scheme of things it will be no time before you are back out.

Not what you're looking for?
