The serious side of the count down is on now! It's now less than 6 weeks to go till the City2Surf on August 14th and this will be the first time I will be running it - eeeep!! Along side Greame, Sarah & Paityn I will be taking on the 14km run, including Heartbreak Hill in the hopes to raise funds for Felicity's Son-Rise Program.
I have been going for a light run every morning for the past 12 months in an effort to stay fit then a few weeks ago was challenged by Paityn to do the City2Surf with her for the first time... it's not like me to back down to a challenge so I jumped in!!
My light morning run has now stepped up to a 6km run most mornings then 2 'boot camp' sessions per week. I am also trying to run an extra 1km each Saturday (I'm up to 9kms) with the theory that I'll be ready to run the 14kms by race day!
We have some very cool t-shirts being donated to us to wear on the race day and a fortnight ago I spoilt myself with a new pair of sneakers... so with training continuing I'm asking for your support and extra motivation please.
Donations/Sponsorships for all four of us runners is the aim so sharing a short and sweet email with all of your email contacts or Facebook friends with a link back to Felicity's website - www.intellectualdisability.org - would be AMAZING!! All the donation options and details are on the website as well as info on Felicity and her program, feel free to take what images and info you'd like to share in your emails and maybe a little note about what you have seen Felicity accomplish since starting her program 5years ago would couldn't hurt either.... just imagine the amount of people we could reach if we all do this!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you in advance for taking the time to support our little family - I know I'll need it on August 14th when I am wishing the finish line was behind me!!
