This was just over a year since I was diagnosed - and whilst I was still pretty fit because of uni - we decided to enter the race and raise money for Crohn's & Colitis UK (formerly NACC).
I would always say that at school I was a sprinter, as opposed to a long distance kinda gal. And anyone who knows me will agree with me when I say that I am NOT A RUNNER.
I think the fact that I bought trainers purely for the run underlines my lack of cardio activity haha. And going 'training' but taking my oyster card (just in case, obviously) probably didn't help much either... *hangs non-athletic head in shame*
But I did the race in 1hr 10mins and more importantly, I survived! Just look at the joy in my face!
Due to the amount of ups and downs that followed though, meant that I never really got a chance to monopolise on my new found fitness (!) however now that I am probably as close to remission as ever, it's time to dust off my trainers, get fit and get running!!
Would sincerely appreciate any form of donation; however big or small.
The race itself is on Sunday May 25th 2014 which gives me plenty of time to get training. Without my oyster card as back up this time.
You can donate in a variety of ways, as I'm sure you're all aware. But just to clarify you can do the following:
