The first Team Tonia post!

This is the first of our Team Tonia posts, allowing us to share our experiences of training, running and most importantly, fundraising, for this cause so close to our hearts.

Two '30 something' ladies who came up with an interesting idea to raise money and awareness for cancer research......now wondering what we have got ourselves into. Whilst each race is just 5km, the commitment of doing ten of the darn things, training and arranging childcare for our darling little blighters makes the whole idea quite a challenge! Emma has already been out running with both boys in a double pushchair, while I have been attending Buggy Workout classes (thoroughly recommended by the way, see www.purefitness.me).

And running in itself is no mean feat whilst carrying two rather large milk-producing assets on your front, eh Em?  In spite of this extra resistance, Emma ran 3.66 miles yesterday morning, her furthest run so far.

The addition of our 'Team Tonia in training' t-shirts has spurred us on to do more training, so look out for us pounding the streets of Andover over the next few weeks!
