The Christian Dahmen Cause

And I thought week 1 was bad....! Actually week 2 has been great. A few niggles along the way - mainly down to running in the dark and dodgy Auckland pavements, but all thing being equal - I've had a good week. A couple of things have helped in particular though. Firstly seeing the $$ mount up on the Givealittle site $12,247.50 as I write! Some fantastic contributions coming in and some great messages of support. Some even for me! (If anyone is wondering - YELM is my Mum - Your Ever Loving Mother! - thats how she sign's off her emails :-) ) The other thing is the different sort of donations we've had. A big thanks to Craig Robertson from Briscoes - he's offered to sponsor my running shoes. So Rebel Sports are kitting me out with a new pair which I will definately need! And a big thanks to Grant Webster and the team at THL who have kindly offered the use of a campervan for a weekend. I've got the campaign team working on it right now and i'm certain we can raffle it off and raise some big money. Or even use it for Christian - if it's poosible he could get away for a weekend with the family. Eother way - we'll make the most of it - many thanks. As for the running - the breakdown is below. If you are really interested the link to mapmyrun is here. I forgot to give you my log in details last week - but here they are: Username: jessmith password: Christian Here are all my runs which are tracked by the GPS on the iphone. Brilliant eh! Thinking of doing an 'Open' run in the near future. Maybe a Saturday 10k if anyone's interested? See if we can't get a gang of us together and you can share a bit of the journey! I'll keep you posted. Cheers Jes - 1) Mixed ? sun & cloud, Just dropped Lou off at airport How the hell will I cope? Hence ? long run! 7.9m. 2) Windy night in Auckland town!, First guest runners tonight ? well, walkers. Joe, Mills and Max join me for my warm up lap round the park. Much more fun with 4! Easy peasy tonight ? could have done more. 5.22 m. 3) Clear night, calm. Gutted that the neighbour has put up flags bigger than ours. Bet hefs a Jones! Also- Zac Guilford: drinking problem or leadership problem? Feel an ON2net poll coming on... 4.94 m. 4) Overcast, calm night. Louise has been away 4 days, and Ifve done 4 loads of washing. Is this normal? Bit of a bad outing ? turned ankle a bit, and itfs just not right. Ran it off ? ice massage to follow. 5.2 m. 5) Overcast & calm again. Last run of the week ? and desperately need a day off, Ankle still sore ? and tonight the knee! Listen to me ? imagine Christianfs pain. Putfs things into perspective a bitc. Worked hard for a day off! 4.42 m. Total 27.68 m.
