Run Update!

I had a massive dilemma yesterday. I was arguing with myself and both of us (me and me) gave rather strong reasoning to run and then why I should avoid running in this lovely crisp weather. First of all, haven't seen anyone running on the streets! Second of all, I was hungry. Third of all, Siberian! I got used to the darkness already, so it's not an issue.
The ultimate reason that pushed me to jump into my running gear and strap my Garmin onto the wrist was... CCAT! If I can support their priceless work in any way- I want/need to do it!

Not the best time but I was freezing my face off! Here you go: 6,2km in 40:26 mins

Still awaiting for Just Giving website registration but we have only two weeks left till The Day! Therefore I'm directing you to the CCAT website where you can make your contribution, however, please email me at giedre.vasiljevaite@gmail.com  indicating your gift and your name. I would love to know the total I've raised as you wouldn't be able to specify why you're inspired to donate and also I would love love to have your name on the t-shirt!

I will bring the contribution form to the PBC on Sunday too! :)

THANK YOU!

Love to all!

New Update!!!!!!

Perfect weather for running this evening! Ran 5,43km (3.4miles) in 35mins. Not the best, but I felt it is becoming easier to run, less comfortable pain or non at all, which gives me great hope for a successful finale crossing the finish line!

                        I got a new t-shirt!!!!
Peter Cox and others generously donated t-shirt with CCAT logo on it!
WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR NAME TO BE ON IT???? IF I CATCH YOU BEFORE THE RACE YOU CAN WRITE IT YOURSELF AND SIGN IT!!! OTHERWISE I WILL DO IT FOR YOU!
SOON YOU WILL BE ABLE TO USE JUSTGIVING FOR YOUR DONATIONS!

New Update from today!!!!!!!

I managed to run 7miles!!!! Oh yeah! I must admit, it wasn't easy, because I didn't run for four days! :( I blame work load.. However, I'm not slowing down! I will be running four days in a row (that's the plan) and will be updating you!
Today: 11,27km in 1:11:58 (bare in mind many uphills!) Oh our beautiful forestdale... :)

My first half marathon- Dirt half marathon! Not the best picture, I know, but I'm not suppose to look pretty after completing 13.1 miles! :)

Previous 10k race!


Half Marathon!!

Ahhhh half marathon is sooo close! 4 weeks and 2 days left!!! I've been training nearly every day ( for two weeks)! But I have two jobs and I get tired, therefore I need you to inspire and motivate me! :) It would helpful to receive supportive messages, or perhaps run with me?? Could be an option... Also, maybe sharing your own experience? And, of course, donating to CCAT! The more you donate, the more I'll feel obliged to make you proud of my hard work! :)

Photos of me training to be uploaded in the nearest future as my proof of sweating for your support! :)
