We did it! 10 km run ✔️
Not only did we complete the 10 km race in 1 hour and 6 minutes, but we both reached beyond our fundraising goals for UNICEF, raising a total of £461,87 combined Thank you so much to everyone who contributed! This was best way to mark my 24th birthday I could possibly imagine.
Growing up I was never good at running. I’d always be along the back of the class, and usually struggling to breathe as our main running tests always coincided with pollen season. So when Faiaz suggested we sign up to the Vitality 10,000 race I was simultaneously excited and terrified.
However it turned out to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. There were march-bands playing at each kilometer and strangers cheering us on around every corner. Even among the runners we’d all smile and joke and look after one another as we made our way towards the finish line.
This was my first ever race, and while we didn’t quite make the time we were aiming for, it couldn’t have been more magical ✨
