aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 18 days and counting, Marie Curie vest printed, training going so so, started C25K last July, after watching the Great North Run last year and noticing the date 8/9/2019 i said I wanted to take part.

The run is the day after my 50th birthday, 17 year anniversary for my dad (my hero) and Marie Curie supported my family and my father in law who sadly lost his sort battle with cancer last April.

I can and will do this xx

It’s funny how race numbers suddenly make it go from ‘it’s a good idea’ to ‘’oh gawd this is really happening”. You have some lovely reasons for running this, and don’t forget to enjoy it. I imagine the atmosphere will be amazing. Looking forward to hearing how you get on x

It just got real! Exciting 🤗. Good luck!

Good luck. You’ve got this!
