Milestone Alert - 200 days of running 5km everyday for 365!

Wednesday 17th of November 2021 marked my 200th day of running a minimum of 5km everyday for 365 days. I've run a total of 1121.77 kms!

With COVID restrictions easing I have been fortunate to be able to take my running to some pretty cool locations across not only the Uk but also the world.

Since my last update - I've added the following memories/achievements on this incredible journey:

Runtalkrun - I have been able to maintain joining this great group of likeminded people for a mid week run. Different faces every week, forming some great friendships along the way!

ParkRun - Participated in my first Parkrun and now completed 10. Working towards completing my Parkrun A-Z (currently done C, F, E, M R and S so still a long way to go!)

Ran at two different Run Through events and achieved a 5k PB at the Media City Centre venue. (24.13)

Due to challenging weather conditions I have had to complete two 5k runs in doors at the gym. It wasn't part of the plan and it's not something I will make a habit of. Definitely not my favourite runs!

Completed two more 10k races. Both fairly local to home, Sheffield and Chesterfield, and thoroughly enjoyed them. For those that know Sheffield you will appreciate the elevation on the Sheffield 10k - not for the faint hearted!

On the odd occasion I have managed to convince some work colleagues to join me. I'm not sure I've converted them yet, but I will keep trying.

Finally, I've been lucky enough to add the following cities in the UK and the world to my running journey; Manchester, Paris (Eiffel Tower as one example), Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Planning to add some more to the list in my final 165 days.

Last but by no means least, ultimately this is all about raising awareness and money for Cancer Research Uk. So far I have been able to raise just over £1000 for the cause. This wouldn't be possible without everyone's generosity whether that's through donating, joining me on a run (physically or virtually).

Looking forward to the rest of the journey, making memories and spreading awareness.
