So. Barring my application or the response going astray in the post, I’ve signed up for a 6K charity run supporting St Andrew’s Hospice in Lanarkshire. I could set up a page soliciting further donations, but I think I’ll be getting one in hard copy, and there are a few causes I really want to support as well, so my online efforts are going toward Alzheimer’s Research Trust.

I know, I know, six kilometres isn’t much (especially if you consider this). However! However! I have decided to attempt joining a short-distance (sub-10K) run every single calendar month from March*, and at the moment, I’m sorted till June. So that’s loads of low-level fundraising opportunities. And ongoing motivation to keep me training. Assuming my hip doesn’t give out on me — my knees haven’t given me problems (fingers crossed) since I started taking glucosamine supplements and wearing my braces.

* There is, However! A ten-kilometre run in May.
