5x50 Day 1. The Challenge Has Begun

Day 1.

The challenge has begun! I'm taking part in the 5x50 Challenge as part of team Northsound Cash for Kids. Today we got together to do our first 5k together.

I'm delighted to say that today was my best 5k time! 35'27"

My knee however is now being iced. ha!

Tomorrow I'm paying a visit to Run4it, I'm told I need a foam roller to help work out my Knee issues.

I'm doing the challenge to raise money for Northsound Cash for Kids. You can sponsor me by clicking here. Thanks!

5x50 Challenge is coming

3 Days to go.

I've signed up for the 5x50 Challenge. It's 5k a day for 50 days with the aim of changing habits for a lifetime while raising money for some very worthwhile charities. I'm taking part as part of Team Northsound Cash for Kids, which as the name suggests is raising money for Cash for Kids.

It should be great fun! I'm sure it's gonna be tough some days to find the motivation to get up and out to do my 5k - but - together we're going to keep each other on track!

Why not sign up too? You could even join our team!

Bring on the Challenge!

I did something on Sunday...

I did something on Sunday that I never thought I’d do.

I did something on Sunday that I never thought I’d enjoy.

I did something on Sunday that never thought I’d want to do again.

I ran a 10k road race.

Finished! Great Scottish Run 10k, Glasgow Green

I did it, enjoyed it and want to do it again. Who’d have thought! Next year my sights are set on running the Great Scottish Run Half Marathon!

Today also marks 4 days until I take on the next challenge I’ve signed myself up for.

The 5x50 Challenge. Walk, jog or cycle 5k a day for 50 days.

I’m taking the challenge as part of team Northsound Cash for Kids, raising money for a great charity that helps kids in need, in the North East of Scotland.

It takes around 50 days days to form or break a lasting habit. This challenge is about just that.

"A charity challenge encouraging people to run, walk, jog or cycle 5k every day for 50 days with the aim of changing habits for a lifetime"

Taking about changing habits, I've always lacked the commitment to become regular blogger. Today I decided to change that too. Starting Sunday I plan to document my progress on this blog... well if 50 days can form a lasting habit...

30 Years of Northsound

Marking 30 years of Northsound Greigsy produced and broadcast this special programme. What a phenomenal history. Some great old jingles and imaging too, I've been waering my anorak all day!
