MANCHESTER RUN
​We are very grateful to both the following people who did the Manchester Run and raised sponsorship money for Pet Rehome.
Poor Karen fell a few days before the run but still went ahead despite the pain and raised £130

Hi Kathy,
Okay for the first mile.  It was all going well and then I felt a tear in my calf and then  hobbled and cried the rest of the route.  
I was so so disappointed and after all the training I was really emotional too. My leg is really sore but as Ronnie said I did it and finished.  The good news is I am definitely doing it again next year so I will look after the T-shirt.  I have a bee in my bonnet and I have got to beat my times over the last 4 years.
Karen x

Paul did the Manchester run knocking 8 minutes off his record in 2008. 
Paul said he was well pleased with his time and more than happy to
have helped the charity with their good work. Paul raised £108.

Day 1 : It was really hard work, not that you can tell from the photographs, but I certainly felt the burn the next morning. I needed two hands to lift my fork when I got home and couldn't text because my hands and arms had turned to rubber. I am looking forward to the rest of the course, getting fit and hopefully making lots of money for the animals in Pet Rehome 's care.

Day 2 :  My husband had to physically push me out of bed because my hip joints were killing me. The worst thing is trying to lower myself on the toilet seat Omg it is so painful!!!!

Day 3 : It was so wet on the grass yesterday so we all had muddy bottoms, knees, backs & hair. Please God it doesn't rain the next time.

Day 4 :  Loads of floor work again. I am having to use the dogs as a Zimmer frame when I take them out for their walks.

Day 5 : Sometimes you have a great idea then half way through you think again and come to the conclusion 'It was a great idea  ..... for someone else !!! But hey ho soon be over and I can have a holiday and the animals at Pet Rehome will be better off with the sponsor donations from all the kind people who have cheered me on.

Day 6: Training called INSANITY and believe me it was.
Had to work with head torches. Photographs are few as most nights we were doing the training sessions in the dark. 

Day 7: Couldn't sleep last night as my legs were still dancing. Got home tonight wet through and filthy from lying in the mud. Got home and straight in the shower cloths, shoes and all. Did my neck in last week but getting better slowly. Thank God for my large dogs that help pull me up & down. Only another week to do. Phew!

Day 8: After injuring myself last Friday I was told I had to rest up over the weekend Boo hoo! so today I have returned and omg! it was hard work the ground was really wet and muddy again. My knee and ankle are giving me gip but soon be over. My new winter training gear has been well and truly christened! So muddy the sludge wouldn't go down the plughole in the shower !
