I'm doing 16 things
I did The Moonwalk Marathon for Breast Cancer Care in London this May. It’s not running a marathon, its more power walking, but 15000 of us walked through London during one Saturday night wearing out caps and decorated bras and it was wicked!
Everybody told me before hand I wouldn’t be able to finish it (I ain’t the sugar plum fairy, and I didn’t do a whole lot of training, not as much as I should have) but I think that’s what motivated me.
Around 16 miles when it started to get re-ally hard, just thinking about having to go home and say I had to stop made me keep going. It was pure stubborn-ness when I trudged over the line, but I finished!!!
It took me 9 1/2 hours (definitely not the first, thankfully not the last!) to complete, but its one of the challenges in my life I’m proudest of so far. I had a little cry, got my medal, phoned my Mum, and I still have a hard time coming to terms with the fact I finished, there were times I thought I’d never get to the end! But it was such a brilliant challenge for me, and I raised money for a good cause in the process, I’d recommend it to anyone!!
