Run Thirty: 80 Minutes!

Run Thirty!

That's definitely a milestone.

I have been a bit useless recently with fitting in runs. But today I did 80 minutes.

We got up early-ish, in the absolutely freeeeezing cold and ran to and around Hampstead Heath. In 1 hour and 20 minutes we managed to run over 12km, yippee. Our fastest mile we managed to do in 9 minutes!! That is nearly 1.5 minutes faster than our fastest mile last week.

We felt extremely positive when we got back.

Every week it feels as if we are not going to be able to complete the run but we just keep pushing ourselves.

I am aching a little bit now, I think that might have something to do with how cold it is. I think I might deserve a nice warm bath later.

About Me

Rose Thompson | MA Student | Living in London

My Dad and I will be running the London Marathon in April for Macmillan Cancer Support. In the last few months two family friends lost their fight with Cancer and we are going to run the marathon for them and for the families they have left behind. Macmillan nurses are not just there for those diagnosed with cancer, they are also there to help the families who have to deal with the loss of the most important people in their lives.

We are all affected by cancer and we can all help. If you can donate £1 or £100. If you can sell something you no longer want on ebay and donate the profit. If you can bake some cupcakes, do a sponsored naked cycle, skydive, swimathon, whatever, every little helps. My dad and I are going to try and do our little bit, 26 miles and 385 yards to be exact and we would really love your support.

This is for you Alyson and you Graeme. And for you Grandma, because although I was only little when you went, it doesn't get any easier.

Please help us improve the lives of those living with cancer.
