Movember 2018

[makeitfit]

oops I forgot to bother you all on my 2018 Movember trials :doh
My friends and I have cycled 1000s of miles the last few years but I wanted to push a new challenge this year.
So like a lemon I agreed to do a 5K run at the end of the month
I never run, even from tigers , following the James May mantra, " I do not run"
Maybe when I was 12 or something but that was 50 years ago I'm almost at 5k distance and just about getting under 10 min/mile pace .
I have 2 more training sessions and then 9am Sat I'm off on the real run.
All very well but the real reason for this here thread is to tap you up guys.
As you know, we've lost some good people from here and maybe others yet to be touched. I'm doing my bit to raise funds and simply ask you to follow the link below and give a little lift to our cause :naughty
Thankyouplease in anticipation:thumbs

Done.
I know how difficult it is to transition from bike to trainers and a 5km run is not easy for a non-runner.
Good luck.

Awesome, thanks :clap
I'm still on the bike too, but it's now called cross training :lol Pretty much what I am most of the run
Thanks again :thumbs

Update

Evenin' all.
Just a little heads up on life the universe and everything :augie
I have spent over 50 years not running, and 5 weeks ago accepted a challenge to run 5k
I can't actually believe it but last night I did actually run the 5k distance all in one go :clap
Today I hear that a great old friend decided to top himself . How low down can you be to take that road ?
I have been so lucky I guess to be unable to answer that :nenau
Tomorrow morning I'm doing my actual 5k run in a park at stupid o'clock. I'll be thinking of my old mate as I go round . I'd like you guys to think of friends you've lost too. May have been cancer, suicide or plane old bad luck. Anyroad up, bung us a quid or two for the cause and lets try and stop another one.

Movember is done but not over quite yet :sly
This morning at stupid o'clock before 7am I made my porridge, in the dark, bemoaning my lack of Sat morning lie in .
Drove an hour to get to the Park Run.
9am boom we're off. A muddy field I'd normally be shredding apart in a 4x4
was now populated by lithe runner types . Anyway 33mins later I'd completed my 5k challenge for Movember.
What's even more pleasing to me is that I came 3rd in the age corrected results , yay go me :clap
Super chuffed with that and the donations that are rolling in.
Can always find room for more though :naughty
Thanks all who've given already :thumbs
