Chester Half Marathon 13th May 2012

Recommended Posts

Hello Peeps :teeth: ,

 

I know I am not on here very often so this may seem a little cheeky, apologies to whoever may look at it that way.....so here goes....

 

It is that time of year again where we all decide to dust off our running shoes and compete in charity events, therefore............I am running the Chester Half Marathon this year with my 2 cousins. The run will be on the 13th May and I am no where near ready so it should be fun!!!!

 

I am running this in memory of Pauls (Ricey) Auntie Gill who sadly passed away in December 2011 due to Cancer. My page is also dedicated to four of my family members who have also passed away due to the big C.

 

1 in 3 of us will suffer from some type of cancer in our life, I know my Nain wouldn't have lived as long as she did without the help and support of the Macmillan nurses :console: , therefore I am running this race for;

 

Macmillan Cancer Support.

 

If you would like to sponsor my run, please click the link below. Every little amount helps so it really doesn't matter how much you donate, my target is £300.

Thank you so much for taking time to read this.

 

Wish me luck, i'll need it with my lungs as my asthma is bordering on chronic at the mo! :blink:

I did the very first Chester half marathon back in the early 1980's, the company I worked for entered a team of 6 (out of which I finished last :blush: ) and raised over £800 for a children's charity on The Wirral. It was also the very last half marathon I ever did back in 1994. Good luck and of course I'll support you :thumbs:

Spare a thought for me I've got to do the training with her!

 

Sadly my 2nd horrific ankle ligament injury in 5 months is restricting us putting down the miles at the moment so a week of hardcore running is on the cards in the easter holiday!

Done that :thumbs:

 

I will never forget how brilliant the Macmillan Nurses were when my first wife died, they were brilliant to her and I know she really appreciated all the time, help and advice they gave her. How do they do that ALL the time!!!?

 

Good luck, and make sure Ricey doesn't wimp out :lol::lol::thumbs:

How could I say no to donating to a fellow female Cestrian Zedder? ;)

 

Good luck - I'm full of admiration for people who do stuff like this. I'm too lazy to run a bath let alone a half-marathon :lol:

I did it half a dozen times and the route was slightly different every year apart from 1994 when they used a completely different course that ran through the Duke of Westminsters estate, which was pretty cool :thumbs: . Not sure where the hills come in, its pretty flat around Chester (bit of a hill round Huntington though I suppose) :lol:
