Due to Covid19, many people have been faced with new physical and mental challenges. As a distraction I joined a group 'Distance Challenge' which started on Wednesday 15 April 2020 and finished on Friday 01 May 2020. The main aim of this group was to get people up and out everyday, and to see who would clock up the most kms in this time frame walking/running.
Before Covid19, on average I did 20km walking/running per week. The competitive streak in myself pushed me to hit 200km in 15 days, averaging 94km per week, with one days rest. This is the equivalent to 4.7 marathons in 15 days.
I can only imagine during this stressful time that resources for Pieta House are being stretched, so when I was challenged to do another 50km in 5 days I have taken it upon myself to raise money for this worthy cause.
To finish off my 250km, I will run the last 5km on Saturday 09 May at sunrise.
