Taking on the Reindeer Run Challenge for my Gramps

In true Jade fashion, I will be doubling up and running 48 miles throughout December.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

RNLI supporters around the country will be donning their antlers and strapping up their hooves to run 24 miles – all to help keep RNLI volunteers safe this winter.

Freezing seas, numbing winds and sub-zero temperatures – would you fancy launching into that aboard a lifeboat? RNLI crews will be doing just that, battling the elements this winter to continue their mission to save every one.

Reindeer Runners will be raising money so they have everything they need to answer the call for help. Because no matter how harsh the winter weather might be, lifeboat crews will always launch to the rescue. I’d be so grateful if you could sponsor me.

Day 20!

Friday 20th Dec
Day 20? Who would have thought that I'd be making it to day 20 with only 11 miles left to go..
I feel tired but i'm ready to smash out these last miles and finish on Christmas Eve!
I genuinely didn't think that i'd end up enjoying running as much as I have.. maybe a mile or two could come part of my weekly training from January? Who knows..

Big thanks to everyone who has donated, I appreciate you all so much x

Day 16 - Nearly there!

Monday 16th Dec
Oh my gosh! Who would have thought that i'd make it to Day 16 and still be in one piece!
A massive shout out to everyone who has donated - we're currently at just over £300 and i'm so grateful!
Locked in and ready to clock in another 4 miles tonight - let's go!

Day 12 - we're half way!

Thursday 12th Dec
Hello half way mark!
Another mile tonight will put me at exactly half my miles, half way to my end date (Christmas Eve)
Huge thanks to everyone who has donated so far!

Day 9 - Ready to Go!

Monday 9th Dec
Here we are at Day 9 and 16 miles on the clock!

I'm aiming to get another 4 miles in today (inc. running to the gym) with the hope that I can do my spin class tomorrow!

I'm feeling good, my legs are feeling strong (maybe slightly sore haha) and i'm ready to smash the next 15 days (aiming to finish on Christmas Eve)

Let's gooo!

Day 6 - Running in a storm?!

Friday 6th Dec
Here we are.. day 6 and 12 miles in the bank!
Yesterdays run was without a doubt the hardest one yet.. after deciding to run to the gym from work in a storm!!
Drenched through, I arrived at the gym and was slightly dissapointed at my 1.24 miles, so decided to whack on another (just over a) mile on the treadmill.
Huge thanks to everyone who has donated so far!
36 miles to go!

Day 2 - Outside Running!

Tuesday 3rd Dec
Well.. my first outdoor run in about 5 years (haha) clocked up another 1.24 miles!
Definitely feeling the DOMS today, so i'll be taking a rest day to recover, ready for getting those miles in on my birthday tomorrow! Let's do this!

Day 1 - Let's Go!

Sunday 1st Dec
22k steps & 4miles in the bank for day one.

I may have underestimated just how far 2 running miles is (standard) BUT thinking of Gramps & how proud he'd be will keep me going.

Thank you so much for all your support and donations so far! xo

Well..

Tuesday 5th Nov
Hi everyone!

Those who know me will know that running is most definitely not my strong suit.. BUT, i'm prepared to take on this challenge for my Gramps, who I know will be supporting and cheering me on.

Any donations would mean the world & let's all pray that I make it through the month without an injury (haha!)

All my love and thanks,
Jade xo
