Working up to Croxteth Park and Mersey Tunnel 10k runs for Alzheimer's Research

Well, I signed up for a couple of 10k races, and decided to make them my charity runs for the spring. I lost my Granny to Alzheimer's, and it is a really traumatic condition, especially for the loved ones of the sufferer, watching my mum and Grandad go through so much pain was terrible. So, I'm doing what I can to help - just £100 funds a day of research, so I'd like to at least get that much, hopefully a lot more!

So - training for it. Well, I kept things up ok in Egypt doing a specific strength training program, classes and the 'Quick-Slim' program at STEP center, Giza, Cairo.

In Miami I did a few morning boardwalk runs (very very enjoyable!!).

I also went along to Ironflower Fitness for a 'Cheerfit' class, with instructor Tiffany (see pic below), which was really great fun.

The Studios are really amazing, and the girls there were so welcoming and friendly!!
I've done a few sessions since I got home, but not actually run 10k since the crazy seaside run in January, so this morning I went out for 1 hour 12 mins, and cracked 12k, so I should be ok next Sunday!! I've not been eating particularly well since Miami, the dreary British weather is not inspiring, so I'm starting afresh with a new summer work/training/study /healthy living program on June 1st!!

Please help me raise money and awareness of Alzheimer's, it can affect anyone, and it is truely devastating.
