ubereglu Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Good luck and have fun. Most importantly warm up and down properly-I used to do Cross country and made that mistake when I did a similar length run and ached until about Wednesday. My Dad is taking part in a 30 mile sponsored bike ride tomorrow too-just hope it doesn't chuck it down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Good luck on the run. I did one several years and came 1,300 +. The people carrying a car beat me. It was good fun and I ran all the way and have a medal. Hope you can run OK in wellies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronze Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I would say you ar emad but in fact I really admire you. My uncle is severly autistic and lives in sheltered accomodation which is fantatstic for him. Luckily though my Gran could afford it. I know how far raised money would go I'm sure you're there at the moment but I'm willing you on from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
