The run itself

Well, I achieved 1 of my goals, which was to run faster than last year. I did it in 1.03.56, the official time from Greatrun.org. So that was pleasing.

The other aspect was that I raised over €2,800 Euro, which was nice for Debra Ireland.

The fact remains, that you should not run when you have a viral infection. My lungs could not fully cope, and I actually made myself really ill from it.

2 weeks later, with the help of anti-biotics, I am finally on the mend.

Thank you all again for your invaluable support.

The end is shown at the top, with my daughters....

2 hours to go to the race

Me and the girls have donned our Debra Ireland t-shirts, and I am feeling a lot better. Not the best shape to run 10 KM, but my head is good Now I hope that my cold ridden body can cope with it. I am a stubborn person, and I will give it my all today.

The weather is nice, so I will have at least that to get me through. Have taken medicine, eaten an omelet, and will take plenty of water and some gel packs

Bring it on

Feeling really poorly

Dear all, I hope I can make this run tomorrow. Have had a persistent cough that has now turned in to a proper cold. No excuses!!!

I am going to do this run, I have trained for it, and I have been looking forward to it for quite some time now. I will still give it my all. Hopefully I will feel better in the morning.

Thank you all for your support, and I will take some pictures in the morning of me and the girls in our Debra t-shirts

Thanks

4 days to go..

I am ready I think.

Did a great turbulence training set today, which finished up with 20 mins of interval running. I will do 1 more run tomorrow, and then save myself for the run on Sunday. It starts at 13.15. I do want to do the run in under 1 hour and I feel it is do-able.

You can still sponsor me here
