3, 2, 1 go - Our 3 peaks challenge journey

25/06/2023

While I'm out of action I took these lovely small folk to do their first Junior Parkrun! I made myself useful as a volunteer marshall, had a fab morning with a great bunch of people 💜

Hopefully the knee brace is coming off in the morning, I've been doing my physio and it's feeling pretty good so finger crossed I'll be able to get back to some gentle training next week🤞

This week has not gone to plan, took a tumble on Thursday while I was out for a run and dislocated my knee 😔 I was looked after very well by paramedics and A&E staff, patched up and sent on my way pretty quickly. I'm sore but hobbling about on it pretty well already. However, I'm not going to be recovered enough to tackle the 3 peaks on the 1st July 😭

I'm gutted... we've decided to put our plans on hold temporarily while we look at options for alternative dates... Watch this space and we'll keep you updated 💜

Parkrun was HOT today 🥵 I struggled with the heat and hayfever, I got a stitch in my back and my time was awful, not to mention the fact that I look like a tomato 🍅🤣 but I did it!

Stevie was awesome as ever, finished his run, then came and joined me for the last km to keep me going 💜

Just 3 weeks now till we take on the 3 peaks, we'd love to get a few more pennies for our charities so if you can spare a few quid our donation link is below 😘

Little bit of exploring and giving the walking boots an outing! They're starting to break in nicely now and the beautiful sunshine and gentle bit of incline training was a lovely way to spend a Saturday before stepping things up this week.

Less than a month to go now till our 3 peaks challenge now and we're all feeling the extra planning and training. If you'd like to help us raise some money for and the Ocean clean up our just giving link is in the bio

Today I inadvertently tested the waterproofness of my walking boots... Soaked wet through on the school run, even had to change my pants 🙈 feet are dry and toasty though 🤣

This made me laugh lots but I'm pretty happy that my feet will be nice and dry while I'm climbing mountains! We're raising money for
and The Ocean Clean up.

I'd love some donations, here's our just giving link

Sometimes I go on long walks and explore exciting places to break in my new walking boots... Sometimes, I go to Tesco's 🤣

Either way these are starting to break in quite nicely! Despite my protests about boot shopping, it was definitely a good idea 💜

Spending the bank holiday afternoon route planning... The current debate is whether we pick a steep start to Ben Nevis or one that takes a bit longer...🤔

Today's task was walking boot shopping... I hate shoe shopping but despite my best efforts to persuade Clare that my brown suede boots would be perfect for mountain climbing she made me go shopping!

One bank holiday road trip to GO Outdoors Cambridge, a very helpful and patient human called Lauren and about a hour of trying on boots and I found a pair that I don't hate 🤣

Now to break them in...

Preparation for me is mostly trying to make sure I can keep up with Stevie! So here's a rather unflattering photo of me after a 5k run. I can manage it in around 40 mins, which isn't bad, but not a patch on his speed (sub 25 mins on a bad day 🙈) So lots of running and time in the gym for the next couple of months while I try and improve my general fitness, strength and stamina so I'm physically ready for it...

Welcome to our page! We're doing the 3 peaks challenge in July, me and Stevie and doing the climbing and Clare's doing the driving. We're raising money for Mermaids and The Ocean Clean Up by doing it and would love some support. I'll add a just giving link once it's set up but for now sit back, grab yourself a cuppa and enjoy watching me get myself mountain ready in 3 and a bit months!
