Taking on the Reindeer Run challenge for RNLI lifesavers

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.

Completed it!🤩

Tuesday 23rd Dec
20th December I did 3.85 miles, which brings me to a total of 25.36 miles.🙌🙌

Only just had time to sit down and blog it. Might try and squeeze an extra run in tomorrow, but if not I completed my goal, so I’m happy with that!😊

Nearly there!

Wednesday 17th Dec
So, I'm still not back to 100% full health yet, but I've been on a few more runs since my last post. 
3.12 miles on 12th Dec
5.84 miles on 15th (longer than planned due to the path being closed at Blaise woods!)
2.29 miles yesterday (an early morning one!)
and 3.27 miles this evening.
So we're technically on day 17 and I've done a total of 21.51 miles! :-)

The flu got me!! 😫🤧

Monday 8th Dec
So, a couple of things No.1: the mileage tracker on the RNLI website has tracked all my activity, not just my running. So it's well over estimated what I've done.
I've actually only run 6.99 miles so far.
No 2: I have been totally knocked down by the flu since Friday, so unable to shuffle, let alone run, but I will make up for it as soon as I'm able and I'll get those miles clocked up by the 24th!

Day 3, 2 miles

Wednesday 3rd Dec
Feeling festive!

Day 2 night run

Tuesday 2nd Dec
1.5 miles, a quick one round the block on a busy weekday evening!

Day 1 run complete!

Monday 1st Dec
3 mile Blaise loop with the husband.

Getting ready!

Tuesday 25th Nov
Big thanks to those who’ve sponsored me already!🙏

I’m getting ready to run through December. Did a few miles yesterday in the cold and dark, so feeling confident and ready to run for all the amazing life savers at sea.😊
