The Color Run
Before I was diagnosed with early breast cancer earlier this month, I had registered to take part in The Color Run this year which will be taking part on Saturday, 13th September 2015 - my venue is Adelaide.
Prior to my diagnosis I had been part of an outdoor personal training group since February 2014 and aside from weight loss and increased fitness, gained a number of friendships and even took part in my first fun run this year, the Mother's Day Classic (a bit ironic now considering my recent diagnosis).
I used to run at school - that being some 30 odd years ago - so now I just shuffle long at my own pace and last Saturday morning managed to shuffle over 9kms in our "Endurance" session. I am hoping to continue with my training up until the date of my surgery which is booked for the second week in August.
I am still determined to take part in The Color Run and have nominated BCNA as my preferred charity as a simple way of saying thank you for the invaluable material I have received.
If appropriate the link to my fundraising page is here and if anyone is interested in sharing the link as a way of helping support this wonderful organisation, then please do so. I won't be promising record times - I am only hoping to finish the race.
