Didn’t want to aggravate anything today, so stuck to a walk round the village with Rudy. Hopefully back to the run tomorrow.Day Six
Run round the reservoir. Legs were not happy tonight, knew it was off then felt a ping. The dodgy knee is probably to blame, glute taking the strain of the weak knee. Put heat on it. Will ice it and see if that helps. Tonight’s music was faith hill, love like this.Day Five

First run under my belt. Whilst Evan was at football practice, I ran 1.7km (one mile) with youngest in tow. Zigzagging across the pitch. Pretty muddy, but that didn’t deter us!I’m running 26.2 miles throughout April to help beat childhood cancer!
All the funds raised for the Run 26.2 Miles in April 2023 challenge will go towards the development of new cancer care facilities at Great Ormond Street Hospital. In the event that costs change, or the needs of the hospital or patients change, we reserve the right to redirect funds for use against the hospital’s most urgent needs. If you have any questions about this, please contact us at facebookchallenges@gosh.org.
Every week, around five children in the UK lose their lives to cancer. That’s five families who are faced with the worst news possible.
For every child, parent and family – it's time to beat it.
Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) treats the most seriously ill children from across the UK and sees the most rare and difficult-to-treat childhood cancers.
It’s time to push the boundaries. Through world-class facilities, pioneering research projects and cutting-edge treatments, we can help build a better future for children with cancer.
I'm proud to be part of the Run 26.2 Miles in April challenge to help take the research, technology, facilities and care GOSH delivers to the next level.
By sponsoring me, you are making an impact in helping GOSH give children with cancer the extraordinary care, expertise and facilities they need.
There’s still a long way to go. But every mile matters. And we'll get there together.
Together we can run it. Together we can help beat childhood cancer.
