Putting it here because you will all see it.
MNHQ can move it later if they want.

I have only gone and signed up for this
www.teenagecancertrust.org/get-involved/as-a-fundraiser/treks-and-challenges/bupa-10000/

If you all know I will have to do it.

Bloody nora.
I only made it to week 2 of that couch to 5k challenge Blush

Make me do it.
Shame me into training and stuff.
If the nest of vipers that is MN cant make me, nothing can.

I cant give blood this year because of bloody stupid frickin anemia (Im not now but you have to wait a year) so I thought I should do something.

I am now officially scared.

You're welcome :)

How's the training going?

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 03/04/2012 20:52

Alright. I have a long way to go but I am keeping it up with the help of my ipod.

I realised I didnt have the 13 weeks that the Ipod 10k app required so I have had to skip on a few weeks [eek]

My poor dog is beginning to hide when i get his lead out Grin

Hey you're welcome. and you know what, tip from a currently injured runner -if you are new at this, invest now in some sports massage/ osteopathy/ similar - will help to keep injuries at bay. Worth it for the £30 or whatever it costs, generally!

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 04/04/2012 17:15

Good tip. Sound a bit grand for the likes of me

Tempting though...very tempting.
Maybe I will wait until I am doing more running than walking.
I hope your injury is better soon.

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 04/04/2012 19:23

Do you have your anorak and clipboard?

Go for it. Stalk the streets of Mumsnet and jump out at unwary folk. Harrass and guilt them into handing over their cash

'its for the kiddies'

I appear to have lost all my scruples in my quest for £1000.
But I am running. I never run. Its not seemly in a woman of my age.
So I think I deserve it.

catgirl1976 · 04/04/2012 19:25

I am slapping on a manic grin and perfecting my pavement blocking as we speak Grin

I am very impressed by people who run. I think I once broke into a trot in 1993, but nothing since :) Am in awe of this running :)

Woodlands · 04/04/2012 19:30

Done.

PS do you ever put your dog in a little bag? If so I think I saw you the other day...
