And it's for charidy

Bit worried about weather forecast...... :o

Ta muchly guys, will be asking for support again nxt year when I do the Sheffield 1/2 marathon - am raising money for Macmillan cancer trust cos Mum has myeloma and that's made me realise just how amazing these people are.

I joined in their coffee morning this year and raised £213.00, Just asking for donations for coffee and me homemade cakes! (you can see I am not the athletic type can't you!) They are an amazing bunch of people, ones we hope we never have to use, but are so grateful they are there if we, or our loved ones need them. good on ya!

Thanks Campanula, and Hugh, maybe you can think of a good costume for me (other than wellies and tight skirt) for 1/2 marathon..... :D

Suggestions will be considered....

hey Mystic, all the very very best for Sunday and lots of cyber cheering-you-on from someone who's never ever even run for a bus in her life ... MacMillan nurses do an excellent job and need their funding, so hope that your run brings them in lots of dosh too. - Lishka

Good Luck Mystic! Will be thinking of you and wishing you well. Hope the snow keeps off in your part of the world. Don't forget to wear something thermal. LOL busy_lizzie :D

ava_banana · « **Reply #18 on:** December 19, 2003, 17:11:42 »

Mystic, wishing you all the best for Sunday......I am totally useless at running anything over about 100 yds, so am in awe......

...good luck, we will raise a warming glass to you and the cause.... :)

mysticmog · « **Reply #19 on:** December 21, 2003, 19:42:21 »

I did it! And it was orrible. But not snowy, which is good, but really really really cold.....winds blowing across fields into me face as I tried to climb small mountains (gradual hills...felt like mountains) - grimaced me way through and made it in 1hr 3mins, which is a pants time for me but what the h*ll, I DID IT...AND with nipples like chapple hat pegs!!

1/2 marathon sounds less like fun now though.....
