My Activity Tracking
126
kms
My target 100 kms
Nearly there!
Despite not being able to run, I've been chipping away at my kms by walking, and yesterday did the longest walk I've done in a few weeks. I had only been able to do 1-2km without my ankle hurting, but yesterday managed to walk to work (5.5km), so I'm stoked I'll be able to finish the 100 before the month is out, albeit not running the whole distance as I had hoped to.I do plan to finish *running* the 100km (over December), when I'm given the green light to run again. Thanks to everyone who has donated so far (still 3 days to go!).
Injury >.<
A bit of a spanner in my progress this week, as I have damaged my Achilles (probably by running funny due to my hip flexor hurting >.<). My physio has said I can't run for at least 3 weeks, and need to keep walking to a minimum, HOWEVER, I can use a stationary bike, so I shall be completing my kms by pedal power! Got to rest for a few days but then I shall be back in the game! <3.Week 1 complete
I've met and exceeded my target kms. I've run 30km in the last 6 days and walked another 24km. I'm planning to run the full 100km and only count my walking kms if I don't quite make 100 just with running.Target update!
I am blown away by everyone's generosity and so grateful to everyone who has donated.Day 2 - 10km done
Despite the heat today, I stuck to my plan to run 10km a weekend. Ideally I'll average 3km a day during the week, although that's likely to be a mix of walking and running (partly because I'm currently injured!). So far, though, I'm on track!This November I’m taking on the Premmie Marathon Challenge
This photo is a photo from the day Art *finally* came home - the best day ever. I'm doing the 100km premmie challenge to help other Mums have the opportunity to bring their babies home safe and healthy too.
I'll be clocking up my 100km by walking and running throughout November.
My original target ($525) was the amount needed to pay for respiratory support equipment, which is what Art needed for most of his time in the hospital (he was on respiratory support for ~2 months). Thanks to all of my wonderful friends, I broke this target in 2 days, so I've now increased my target to $1651, which is how many hours Art was in the NICU at RPA. I would love to break this target, too, so your donation, be it $5 or $50, will help.
Some more info about the challenge:
The Premmie Marathon Challenge is to raise funds for life-saving neonatal equipment that will give critically ill and premature babies a better chance of survival.
You can help either by joining the Premmie Marathon Challenge too (www.premmiemarathonchallenge.com), or making a tax-deductible donation here.
Your donation will help keep me motivated as I complete my ‘marathon’ through November, knowing that each km I complete is helping save the lives of sick and premature babies.
Thank you to my Sponsors
