Terry Fox Hope Run


I can't believe what's happened to me recently! I've become a bit of a sports buff! ately I have been feeling pretty alright so I started going tot he gym every day. Then I felt even better and started pushing myself harder and harder. There's this one trainer there who laughs at me when I can't do that last situp and so I try to go further and further (to avoid the laughter of course!) Anyhow, I'm off track now...

So one day I was at the gym and I saw this poster for the Terry Fox Hope Run in Milan in a few weeks time and before I knew it and before I could stop myself I had signed up! I didn't even know how many kilometers it was! And certainly with my knees I wouldn't be able to run it right?

But it's a good cause... a great cause...so I signed up and asked everyone I know for donations or to run with me. And a few said they'd run and a few gave their donations. In the end no one joined me that sunday but I finished the 5k in 46 minutes, and I raised €100 which I put towards Cancer research.

Not too shabby.
