Day 8- A tough tiring day!

I set off to complete day 8 at approx 6:20am, just me and my iphone on the road! Today was a particularly tough run.  It's strange because there was nothing different about my run that could have made it any harder, same route to work, weather cold but still dry and less snow on the ground, so if anything it should have been easier but it felt tough!!!

A few cars and lorries passed me on route but no human voice heard until I got into work 54 minutes later, I think until that point I felt I had been in a lonely running world of my own!  But the words I heard, from a generous work colleague made something click back into place in my head and heart- Well done Diane, I can't believe you have run into work again, here let me give you your sponsor money.   Here is a picture of me and Sue in reception just as I had finished day 8!!!  The moment of realisation hit me again and I thought no matter how hard this challenge gets, every ache, pain, drop of sweat is worth it, for the fantastic support and money I am raising for the children at Martin House Children's Hospice.

Thank you to everyone to my generous friends, family and work colleagues at Aviva, you are helping such a fantastic "claus"!!
