Frenchay 10K Race Report

Hi everyone! As I am not currently writing my blog at the moment (Please see previous blog entry) but I thought I would keep in touch by writing a couple of race reports. So her goes my first attempt at doing just that! On a chilly Sunday morning on the 28th April I took part in the Frenchay 10K and for those of you that don't work in kilometers like me its a 6 mile race. Why are shorted races in kilometers?, I don't know and one day I shall remember to look it up! According to their website Frenchay 10K was one of the first 10K events ever set up in this country in 1980! It was set up to raise money for local charities and today was the 39th time is has been held. The event set up was pretty good, the race HQ was on the Glenside UWE campus. There was plenty of onsite parking (which is unusual) and off site parking in the near by housing estate where we parked. Inside race HQ there was plenty of room for all the runners to prepare. We hadn't signed up online before hand

NEW BLOG COMING SOON!

Hi everyone, Hope everyone has been well?! and sorry for the sudden radio silence! I was becoming increasingly worried that you guys might be getting a bit bored of what I was writing and I found myself repeating things quite a lot. I am currently working on a new style for my blog and I should have something put together in the next few weeks. I will also be putting a couple of race reports on here over the coming weeks so please come back to read them. In the mean time I have put a few pictures below of how my training is going. Take care everyone and thank you for all the support each and every one of you has given me!

A Week of Struggles

Hi everyone! Explains it all! Hope you are all well and had a good week since you last read this blog. Talking of readers we are back down to normal numbers for readers this week and i think it was 74 at the time of writing this. The week before ended up with 344 readers but i have no reason why. I want to say thank you to everyone that read this blog and give me a shout if you have any comments as i do keep an eye out for them on the Jessie May Facebook page.  Lets get on to talking about the amount we have raised for Jessie May so far, the total stands at £797 which is amazing and i am so thankful to everyone that has donated. This is 26% of the target of £3000. I'm not sure i have mentioned why we chose this target so i will explain. Its quite simple really, £3000 is the cost of running Jessie May for 1 day and hence The Difference a Day Makes title for this challenge. So putting that into perspective so far we have raised enough money to run the charity for just over 2
