50 Miles - 1 Mission
I never thought I’d be writing a blog about running 50 miles in a month! My running journey started with Couch to 5k earlier this year, although I’ll be honest I’ve never really loved running. I’ve never attempted anything remotely like this number of miles in such a short space of time. So, to put it mildly, this is going to be a challenge! But I have a very important reason for taking it on. 26% of all men’s cancers or 1 in 8 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer, including my dad who was diagnosed back in 2009, and like so many families, this has made me realise just how important awareness, early diagnosis and research are. Prostate cancer has also touched the lives of other people close to me, including friends and family. It’s one of those illnesses that can affect not just the person diagnosed, but everyone around them. So, throughout the month, I’ll be putting one foot in front of the other and aiming to complete 50 miles for prostate cancer.There will undoubtedly be days when I don’t feel like running, days when my legs are tired and probably plenty of moments when I question why I thought this was a good idea! But whenever that happens, I’ll remind myself why I started. Every mile is for all the other dads, brothers, partners, friends and family members affected by prostate cancer. I’m not a seasoned runner. I’m someone who started with Couch to 5K and has decided to push myself way outside my comfort zone for something that really matters to me.
50 miles. One month. One very personal reason.
If you’re able to support me by donating, sharing my fundraising page or simply following my progress, I’d be incredibly grateful. Here’s hoping I make it to 50! 🏃♀️💙
Thank you so much for your support 💙🧡

Therapy Run
Tuesday 6th Oct Tonight was a good run. Slow but steady. I actually enjoyed decompressing after work and using the time to think about my day and also about this challenge. It is tough but that was the intention. It’s not a challenge if you don’t push yourself. I increased my target today to £500. Fingers crossed I achieve it. Share
Hot Hot Hot
Sunday 4th Oct After a weekend away with the girls walked in the front door at 5.30pm and immediately put on running clothes and went out. It was a hot, hot, hot run but I managed to increase the distance by a whole mile. May not seem a lot but mega chuffed that I was able to do it. 4 miles down, 46 to go!! ShareThank you to my Sponsors
