An update!!!


We have more lovely people that donated to CCAT!!! Check out the new names! What an awesome support has been given to me! What an inspiration and motivation to carry on training and running. Soon all of the gifts will be collected and a cheque presented to the CCAT organisation! I'm eager myself to find out the total!

Also, just to add, I've been running and not falling asleep on the newest achievement. I think I'm getting a bit better and whenever I will book myself for a new challenge I will surely let you all know!
Bless you all!
Thank you very much!

Goal achieved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First and foremost I would like to say a big thank you to all of you who supported me! Whether you generously made gifts or sent me encouraging emails, Facebook and text messages! I truly and sincerely appreciate any and every effort you’ve made! Your presence has been motivating me to go for a run after work, when I was hungry, tired, it was dark and cold. Thank You!
It means you care for people, for those fragile women who are being abused and used; and desire to bring goodness in their lives, change their awful tormenting nonexistent living so they would Believe in people again, so they would regain Hope and their Hearts would See the light in the nearest future.















About the Half marathon.
Oh my goodness how much I enjoyed running it! Seriously! I couldn’t erase the smile of my freezing face for 12 miles! Huh? Did I say 12? Did you know that Half marathon is 13,1 mile? Oh yes!!! The last mile was tough! But somehow I managed to speed up! Curious about my time? I did it in 2:06:42!!! Did I hear someone cringe just now?? Rude! Haha My first and last half marathon was Dirt Half marathon (in 2010) and I did it in 2:15, so I’m well pleased!!!! I met great people! So smiley and friendly. I guess it helped that I was walking with a smirk too! I made a little friend too, perhaps she was 10 months J We kept looking at each other and laughing J
So.. I met two bunnies (they didn’t have white puffy tails!! How sad!), donkey, dogs (real ones) and... I think that’s it.
My dear friend Steve who I was running this race with came 24th! He finished it in 1:26! I saw him run- without realising what I was doing I increased my speed and then suddenly got a grip that soon I will have to unzip my small pocket and get an energy gel! So I was wise and slowed down! A big well done to Steve!
Running on the beach was great! We were warned about the ice, but what I found was mud. Such fun!     
I had a few running buddies but either they stayed behind (which means I was faster haha!) or I stayed behind.. (didn’t happen too often.. I think... ). It was very warm to run, in fact, perfect weather for that!
Anyhow, here are some pictures! My photographer Amy was ill, therefore instead of the professional photos we have iPhone photos!
Bless you all!!!!

I'm so pleased with people generosity! Here is the t-shirt as promised with your names on it!!! I hope you like your colour! If not- there's not much I can do about it :p My fingers ended up being pretty and colourful too! :D Going to get some sleep, early morning tomorrow- leaving at 6:30am sharp! Ouch!!

The ones that still would like to sponsor me- please please do so! I will write more names on the t-shirt and take another picture!
God bless you all!

Running in London is fun!

Heyyy :-)
The newest update is that I ran a couple of times during this freezing weather. Rather enjoyed the cold side of it, not the icy one. Still feels too dangerous to jog in Forestdale as blocks of the road are covered in icy snow. I'm a bit cautious about breaking my neck before the race... 
The last jog took place in London- Waterloo, passing St. James park, Trafalgar Square (I was following, not leading, therefore can't give you the precise details of the route), crossing a couple of bridges, the graffiti painted tunnel and back to the office. We jogged 44:50mins and did approximately 4,8miles. I was pleased ;)

Have a lovely Saturday everybody! Keep warm! :)
