Me (and my husband) running the Coniston 15k challenge trail race at the weekend!!!

[mummybear59]

This included running (and walking;-)) tough climbs, tricky (but fun) descents, beautiful scenery over rocky paths, streams, mud, gravel tracks and grass along with lots of determined people but mostly an overwhelming sense of achievement completing it less than 4 months after finishing first line treatment for stage 3 OC!!!

Wow that's impressive! I thought you were quick on your feet running for the train in York. You must be tremendously fit and very determined. A great achievement and may there be many more ahead. I rather think there will. Many congratulations!!!

love Annie

I nearly missed the train Annie, i got there as the doors were closing!!! Lovely to meet you all anyway.x

[Whippit in reply to mummybear59]

I did wonder. We thought you'd come and join us if you had missed the train and needed a lift home so assumed you were OK. Amazing weekend achievement! xxxx love Annie

Thanks Wendy. My husband could have run A LOT faster but the plan was always to stay with me - he'll get plenty of other chances to 'race'!

What an achievement. Well done. I'm doing the great south run soon and will use you as my role model! Dy xxx

[mummybear59 in reply to Dyana]

Ooh good luck with that!! Flatter but further so a very similar challenge. Enjoy!! Big races like that fill me with dread! Too many people!! There were about 500 in total at Coniston!

[MaggyH]

Well done you, that sounds really tough, and you're still smiling. Keep it up (both the running and smiling!)

Love Brenda xx

I read very good research paper on exercise prolonging life in cancer patients and took it to heart!! Will try to find it and post it xx
