Hi,
I would like to update you on my 2.6 Challenge for SRA which I completed on Thursday 21st May. I took a photo every day so you can see what I have been up to! My challenge was to run at least 2.6 miles every day for 26 days in place of running the London Marathon and to raise funds for SRA.
So, I started on 26th April, the day the London Marathon would have taken place, this was my first run in several weeks. I decided to run in rainbow colours, also in support of the NHS so had a different colour for every day of the week…. Yes, I have that many running tops! This was a double challenge for me as going from not running for some time to running every day was quite difficult plus I very rarely run alone (which I hate) so really had to force myself every day to get the job done! I went out regardless of the weather and had to face rain, wind, hailstones and in the last few days, lots of sun, the hottest day of the year so far! 🥵😎 But, 26 days later I have finished. I have run 150 miles in total which is over 5 Marathons (or 11 Half Marathons!) and my total time running was 26.2 hours.
My donations page is still live, so please click on the link below to support SRA if you can. Please also share my story with friends and colleagues. Any support is greatly appreciated, especially at this time where many people are struggling with their mental health.

Many thanks, keep well and stay safe,
