Pheeew. Made it on Sunday with a last run from Galashiels, up to Maigle Hill, Torwodlee Broch and return. The Broch is one of three in the Borders and is overlooked by one at last weekends run.
A gorgeous day and a stiff run 480 metres of climbing and steep with it. Slowest run of the month. 2 hrs 5 mins.
A fundraiser with two colleagues (one cycling, one swimming) for the Borders Food Banks.
We drew lots to swim 1k open water, run 1 half marathon a day, and cycle 50 miles every day for March, to raise funds for Borders food banks.
I hate food banks, an indictment of the callous barstewards in Westminster who can not even be excused of knowing the cost of everything. Funds matched by our company (we are employee owned) and as of last night a total of £41000 and a few pennies).
@sebastianhahn Not that much really. The three of us had discussed a fund raising venture (we all run, cycle and swim), but not one that required any money raised to go towards paying for an event’ (we all self supported - not that difficult :-). Friends and families were supportive and a number of our customers were happy to contribute something. Lastly, the company matched contributions. We (the company) have done this for many worthwhile causes.
A convenient month. Projects relaxed so timing was easy and my partner and son took care of the dug on the mainly road days. That’s my trail shoes knackered…. This month we’ll all be away in mainland Europe, on trains between site visits…
