Jen to the top

I have now spent a few good hours on the treadmill and also on the street, and my running has improved! Yesterday, after feeling pretty good after my 10k race on Sunday, I was quite up for another run and wanted to get out there! As it gets dark around 8pm I decided to run on the street, and after 1k, after thinking how easy and embarrasing it would be to fall on the uneven pavement.... I literally dived to the ground! I got a fan club quite quickly that hooped and cheered for me.... Ah well, my contribution to daily comedy! So there will be some rest for the next couple of days 'til the next run, when my knee and self respect is back to its normal standard :) See ya!

Soo... yesterday I signed up to climb the highest peak of Africa - Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania! I have wanted to do this for long, and now, after a great hike up Ben Nevis in Scotland, I finally got myself to register! I am doing this with Childreach International which is a charity helping children in the areas around Kilimanjaro. This is a common way of doing challenges in England, and I will join a group of others that also signed up for the same challenge. We all have to raise £2440 which will pay for our costs but mostly goes to the charity. I think this is a great way of fundraising! I decided to start writing about my way to the goal to get support from my friends, so please encourage me! :) Today, when Im now sitting eating my lunch, I am wondering how I am going to do this! How do I prepare? I am thrilled, excited and at the same time terrified! But I have a few good friends who already have done this, so I am sure it wont be a problem. But Im very focused, both on food
