I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run
I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run this Baby Loss Awareness Week 9-15 October.
Sands exists to support anyone affected by the death of a baby, before, during or shortly after birth, whenever this happened and for as long as they need support.
By sponsoring me, you are helping Sands break the silence around baby loss and to continue to save babies’ lives.
£10 - could provide a hand and footprint kit to help create memories.
£20 - could provide a bereaved family with a memory box to help create and keep safe precious and lasting memories of their baby.
£35 - could answer a call from someone reaching out for support who has been through pregnancy loss or the death of a baby.
£100 - could help ensure every hospital in the UK has a dedicated Sands volunteer to help healthcare professionals access our training, guidance and support.

Race day
Tuesday 14th Oct My official chip says 2:31 but my Runna app says 2:29. I also had a wee break at mile 3 or 4 and the queue for the portaloo was a bit ridiculous so either way I am happy with my time (which had been predicted as 3:00-3:13).

Last planned run on training schedule
Tuesday 7th Oct Last run completed on training plan this morning. It feels so counterproductive but I’m trying to trust the process and I will be leaving my running shoes alone now until the big day on Sunday.
12K this morning
Thursday 2nd Oct Today was the last long distance run from my training plan. I thought it would feel easier with the last two weeks of plan incorporating up to 90% of the half marathon distance… I was wrong though 😅🫣 My little legs struggled today and everything felt fatigued. I’ve ran each morning for the last three days to stay on plan with training & ideally I would have had a rest day inbetween but due to childcare & work commitments sometimes it just doesn’t work out. Managed to get it done though and that’s what I need to focus on.
Training stats. Fair bit of effort there but for some reason it always feels like I should be pushing harder . What’s that all about ?!
