I havent updated my blog for a while as I have been working away at Bestival on the Isle of Wight. I have been working at a few of the festivals over the summer (alongside my full time gym work) to help me save up the £6000+ for my masters degree which starts next week. I am nowhere near being able to afford it yet, but hopefully will get there! The weekend was fun, but the 18 hour shifts and almost total lack of sleep have hit me hard. Sleep and rest is one of the key elements of the week prior to completing a long distance event, and you need both to help your body store enough energy and carbohydrates to facilitate your exercise on race day. I have kept exercise to a bare minimum this week and will not be running until the run itself.
There are 3 days to go until the Great North Run and I have just hit my target fundraising amount of £500! Im really pleased with this and very grateful to all those that have sponsored me. Thanks to the following for helping me reach my target:
Dad, Luke, Sam, Kimbo, Neal, Ian Johnson, Graham Keddy, Sarah Garnett, Alan Findlay (Pin Point Recruitment), Alan Fidler, Sarah Caine, Kevin Lister, Jan Campbell, Lee Dixon, Jacqui Patterson, Stefanie Pendleton, Sara Hepburn, Darren Biggs, Martin Wardle, Sarah, Rach Maxwell, Sunny, Gaff, Dani, Mark and Davina, Rob O'Neill, Aunty Elaine, Tove, Hannah Bayman, Bex and Matt and Finn, Ian and Sue, Tony Liu, Tony Winder, Paul Sinton-Hewitt, Becca, Sara Wilson, Jane and Phil, and finally, Ricky Knight (Pickled Egg Events).
Your generosity and support are greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!
Hopefully I will be able to continue past my target amount now and continue raising money this week. If you would like to sponsor me please visit www.justgiving.com/niycpidge and show your support.
