My Updates

We are what we believe we are

Saturday 28th Mar
I got to 9.75km in my run last night.

So I think i'm as ready as I will ever be for the 12th April.

The training has been going very well, but I have started to taper off with two weeks to go. I'm conscious of not doing too much in the lead up to it, but also getting the balance right between running and weights workouts.

Thank you all so much for the incredibly generous donations. It's all going to a great cause.

To those who still wish to donate, any amount will be greatly appreciated.

The road is long, but the reward is huge

Saturday 21st Mar
It was a beautiful morning for an early run and I'm happy to say I reached 9.5km.

I did feel like I passed every single dog and their owner around the Liverpool area though, for which I always try to slow down so as not to startle them or have them startle me!

I'm very happy with the way the training is going and I'm confident that it'll all pay off on April 12th.

Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me and to those seeing this site for the first time, any donations will be greatly appreciated.

Your only limit is your mind...

Saturday 14th Mar
Although sometimes it feels like your body wants to limit me as well!

I got in a very good run today and I'm happy I'm up to 9km. 
With just under a month to go, it is all going well. My goal is just to get the balance between training hard enough but remembering that I'm going to need to taper off closer to the date of the run.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far and if anyone else would like to donate, it'll be greatly appreciated.

Saturday 7th Mar
Saturday greetings,

This morning I needed a change of scenery.  So Liverpool city centre became was my running route for 8.5km.

I think it can be good to not get too familiar with the running routes you take as complacency can set in.

I have been to Phoenix Park many times, but I obviously won't know the race day course that well. That's part of the challenge.

Thank you to everyone who has sponsored. The generosity has been fantastic and it all goes to a brilliant cause.

For those who haven't donated yet, any amount will be greatly appreciated.

Still on the run

Sunday 1st Mar

Between weights, running and yoga it has been a good weekend of workouts.

I am up to 8km now, which I am happy with, so I think I will be ready for the 12th April. I also like to keep track of it, whether it is a short video, picture, whiteboard message, it all helps with the motivation.

 I have learned as I have got older that it is important to pay it forward, which is why I like to do at least one fundraising event a year. This year's cause is more significant than ever for me.

 Thank you again for any donations you can give, it is all going to a fantastic cause and is greatly appreciated.


Thanks for taking the time to visit this page.

Friday 27th Feb
I'll be raising money for the Marie Keating Foundation, which does incredible work to help many people who have to deal with such a cruel and horrible disease.

The training for the 10k has been going really well and between running and weights workouts, I'm confident I'll be ready for the 12th April.

I'm also looking forward to completing this course as it'll be the first time I'll have run around the Phoenix Park.

Thank for you for any donations, it's all greatly appreciated.
