Well it's an exciting day! Amy from Whizz-Kidz has sent our running vests and sweatbands through. As you can see, they're pretty striking! It seems the Whizz-Kidz recent re-brand is rolling out well and making sufficient impact on the world. We're excited to have them as the day draws closer, its one of those exciting little moments to revitalise a little of the atmosphere around doing the run as a team and raising money for such an amazing cause. Speaking of which there is a video below sent to us via Whizz-Kidz from one of the young people whose lives will be improved by the money we raise, beautiful! Thanks Shanon!

With approximately TEN weeks to go to the big day, its time to dig in and get on with some real training to make sure race day goes well! The popular saying 'All work and no play..." is one we're comfortable with, so in that light we've decided to begin running together one night per week or ("Magic Wednesdays" as they're now known!)  to add a little play time into our regimes.

We've only got a couple of routes so far, ranging from 3 miles to 6; but have plenty of room to roam along the old railway tracks that cut seamlessly through the north east's rolling countryside. The scenery is certainly beautiful and with good banter and a bit of team bonding, it seems to be going well so far.

We've popped some pictures below  to give a feel of what we're up to, but we'll see if we can get some more that include Robin who sadly missed the session with a sore throat (or developed a little camera-phobia ;o) )

Again, thanks to everyone who reads and supports us, and please remember to donate!
