Great North Run
Challenge 28/40 ✔️

Bloody loved that! A brilliant day, bit soggy! Ran with Haley Jayne and we enjoyed every second, especially the free beer at mile 10! Loved Newcastle and everyone in it, an absolutely amazing weekend.

Massive thank you to Melanie Bridge for sponsoring me.

Next challenge.... Swim Serpentine 🙈 a 2 mile swim round the Serpentine lake in Hyde Park, not too sure how this one will go.

Challenge 27/40 ✔️

Yesterday i done the Ride North Norfolk 102 mile. It was a beautiful route although windy. My bottom is in tatters now though 🙈

I was meant to have done the Dereham 5k last weekend, but with work I just couldn't get away.... so I have of course replaced that challenge to a 50k on the 1st December... almost like for like 🤣

Challenge 24/40 ✔️

Coltishall Jaguars Flying 5k.

I used to be a member at this club and today was a reminder why 🧡 Everyone is just so lovely, you really become part of the orange family and they are the best at organising races, and i got a PB 🥳🥳 23:38, knocking 23 seconds off my wroxham time only 2.5 weeks ago!
Thank you for setting the bar Karen Bell with your PB yesterday. Although i didn't beat it but it certainly pushed me and thank you for letting me chase you Doug Barber I was ready to 🤢 at the 4k point!
Great to see so many friendly faces today.
Next race is on Friday. Worstead 5 mile.

Humpty Dumpty 10k/ Challenge 23/40 ✔️

After a week of feeling sorry for myself and not doing any training, hoping to just feel better and heal (and eating so so much!) I managed just that and although nervous at the beginning of how i would feel i got a PB!! Thank you for pacing me Doug Barber 😊

HUGE thank you to Phil J Hurr for sponsoring me.

Next challenge is the Jags Flying 5k in Coltishall next Sunday.

Today has been a good day. A PB, out for lunch with good friends....... It can only get better.... 🤞 ⚽️ 🏡 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🤞

What an insane week! On Wednesday I done the Wroxham 5k and got myself a PB of 24:01 challenge 21/40 ✔️.
Sunday I done the Outlaw Holkham Half Triathlon.... NEVER again.... The swim (1.2miles) couldn't have gone any worse, having a panick attack and inhaling so much water (and duck poo), a boat came out to rescue me and wanted to take me off to be seen by paramedics, but with a lovely lady in her kayak beside me I carried on and made it to the pontoon with minutes to spare before the cut off. I truly believed that once on land I would be absolutely fine to carry on, but my lungs completely disagreed with me, I couldn't get my breath to push as hard as I wanted on the bike (56miles) and again only just made it through before the cut off. The run (13.1miles) was 3 laps, the scenery was beautiful and a run I would usually love but I couldn't get my breath and was still coughing from all the wayer i took in, in the lake so it was much more of a walk than a run, seeing that orange carpet at the end was the best feeling ever and seeing my friends waiting for me was magical, it was a tough and emotional day.
I was the last out of the lake, I did manage to make it up a bit on the bike and the run, I finished the 70.3 miles in 8:29:03 the cut off was 9 hours so too close for comfort. I certainly put everything I had in to earn this medal.

Next race is on Sunday, I have still got a horrible cough and don't think my lungs will be ready to race but I will get round the course, I am on anti biotics so hopefully they can work some magic by then.

As for swimming..... I have one more big event in september- a 2 mile swim, after that I am hanging up my goggles and retiring 🤣

Challenge 18/40 completed yesterday, Beccles Triathlon-Sprint (420m swim, 12.6 mile ride, 4.16 mile run)
My second Triathlon and I did enjoy it, still struggle with the swimming but as it was in a lovely outdoor pool heated to 28c I was very spoilt. The next couple of triathlons i am doing are in lakes. I have only attempted a swim in a lake once and completely panicked, could not swim 🥺 so i need to pull my finger out and get some serious training in with only 2 weeks to go until Norwich triathlon, a 1500m swim in Whitlingham lake.

From the fundraising point, I have reached TARGET 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Thank you to everyone of you who has donated to my page and to my latest sponsors for getting me there, Liz Didwell, Emily Rose Davies at Cabin Of Beauty (not only do you keep my lashes looking full for all these events you have helped push me through to target 😀) and Haley Jayne (& 2 from Anonymous)

I have now managed to extend my fundraising page until the end of the year so I can keep raising money whilst completing my 40 challenges.

🥳🥳🥳🥳Ride London, challenge 17/40 ✔️

What an amazing day yesterday was, London certainly knows how to host these events. First the marathon now Ride London, starting at the embankment and finishing on Tower Bridge. Only a couple of months ago I was running across and yesterday I finished a 103 mile cycle ride on the same bridge.
Every muscle in my body was hurting as I crossed that line not to mention my poor bum but it was worth it, an amazing experience. All while raising money for charity, Thank you so much for my latest donations from Kezia Everson , Hannah Crane , Liam Crane & Liz Didwell. I am so close to target.
I now have a bit of rest and recovery until my next challenge in 2 weeks time- Beccles Triathlon, sprint distance.

Great Yarmouth Race 3/3 DONE and I am so pleased!! Pleased that I don't have to do that again as its definitely not on my list of favourite races but also because I got myself a PB!!! 🥳

Challenge 16/40

A HUGE thank you to Jo Randall , Mandy Cox , Dave Cox, Susan Wilson & Nicholas Dash for getting me so so close to my target.
Ride London is next, in 4 days time I will be cycling 100 miles round London & Essex 🙈 I do not feel at all prepared for it but I am certainly going to give it best shot.
My justgiving page is at this moment still live, not sure how much longer it will be so if anyone would like to donate I will be so grateful. Only £92 until I hit the target 🥳

Challenges 14 & 15 ✅️

Completed Great Yarmouth 5 mile Race 2 on Wednesday and then Dereham 10 mile today! The heat made it so difficult for me but another medal earned.

Thank you so much to Teresse Craske for your donation.

I have just 9 days to hit hit my target of £2000 for Mind, if anyone can spare anything then please donate to such a fantastic charity and help to keep pushing me forward.
Still have 25 challenges planned for the rest of the year, the next BIG one being Ride London on the 26th of May. A 100 mile bike ride through London and Essex.... this scares me alot.... 🙈

Thank you so much to Haley Jayne for running with me at Yarmouth, not sure I would have done it without you. 😘😘
