Mothers Day Classic

Hi and welcome to all the first time entrants in the MDC!

This year I will be a first time entrant for the course and I’m looking forward to climbing into it. From all account’s the last few years have been vibrant, and entertaining as well as focusing on health and wellbeing for all the family and friends. So how did I end up here? Well, being a couch potato sports enthusiast I was sitting around at work when Rosie announced that she was partaking in the Mother’s Day Classic and I should consider having a crack too. Now of course my first thoughts were along the lines of… hmmm…? Mother? - nope, fit? - nope, busy?  - nope, looking for a new challenge? -  yes! And thus was born my first foray into an event which has proved to be a great way to show your support for a truly good cause.

So what will I be aiming to achieve from the day? Well I think I’ll start by just trying to finish in one piece before I get too carried away. This will involve getting in a few sneaky runs over the coming weeks to ensure they don’t call me the wolf (huffing and puffing). It’s been a while since I last dusted off the runners’ and hit the streets so I’m well aware that I should take it easy first up. I see there have been some helpful training tips posted already so thanks to those for the words of encouragement.

Is it all about the running for me? No definitely not. I’m using the MDC as a vehicle to enjoy my day rather than spend the day in one. I’m also actively egging on a few of my other mates to join in with me. I know it will be a cracker of a day.

See you all there
