Despite everything going on this summer – my holiday and the three week summer school – the wait for Results Day is going to be a nervous one, and I need something to keep me occupied. I finally found something – and it’s for a great cause! The event itself isn’t until the 21st October – a date which is incredibly special to me, for reasons I’ll divulge later on when everything’s confirmed – but it’s the Great Birmingham Run, which I hope to be running for Birmingham Children’s Hospital – again, I’ll divulge my reasons at a later date.
It’s a half-marathon, which is going to mean a lot of training for me. So, it’s time to kick these kidney problems in the butt once and for all and get started on some serious training. First things first is actually learning how to run – I mean, I can do it, but I tire out really easily and my ankles don’t seem to like it very much. After that, long distance running. Once I’ve mastered the actual art of running, the long-distance part shouldn’t be too hard. If there’s one thing I pride myself on in sporting terms, it’s my perseverance – unless I’m in absolute agony, I’ll keep going, especially when it’s for a good cause.
So, stay tuned for further information, I’ll keep you all posted and rest assured, I will be harassing you all to sponsor me in the near future 😉
