I decided to run the Cambridge Town and Gown 10k as a personal challenge - I’ve never been a runner (and in fact have pretty much hated running since school) but I started to get into it during Covid and in March this year I joined an online running club. When I first started training I couldn’t run for more than a few minutes without feeling exhausted and needing to walk - so managing to run a whole 10k will be a major personal achievement (and I have been that dedicated that I kept the training up on our family holiday to Portugal - see very sweaty photo as evidence)! I’ve also given up the booze (I haven’t had a drink since 1 January this year) - so what with that and the running I’m probably having a mid life crisis... but whether that’s the case or not I’m very pleased to be supporting Muscular Dystrophy UK at the same time as achieving something personally significant.
