Forrest Gumping it!
And now, the end is near…
Short short-er
Why did you start Run 365 Ken?
The hills were alive with the sound of Ken’s shoes!
Find a way!
One of the things I say to people when Im coaching them about things that stop them in life is - find a way.
And with my running challenge, where I have taken the task of running the equivalent of 8 kilometres a day for 365 days and raise £3650 for the Hunger Project, it is challenging me to find a way to get to parity as Ive fallen behind. And getting to parity for today my 310th day would be that Ive run 310 8Ks. But before today and before yesterday, Ive fallen behind by 13days, so I found a way, by running 2x 24ks yastrrday and today. Now Im just 7days behind.

And as a treat, Im having this amazing brunch!

I am 13 days behind, as I had to rest my knee properly after damaging it by running on the wrong shoes! But today the new, new shoes were amazing. I didn’t run too fast as you can see, just allowed my natural bio rhythm to dictate my pace without kicking hard! I will have do 51 more consecutive 10k’sin the next 51 days without a break to get even at 252nd run to be on par with 8k a day!
It is possible if i do it with my brain in gear but not with my brawn in gear!
Im doing this to get your attention to inspire you to fund the ending of hunger in the world!
So, get inspired and get funding! Darn it!!

One thousand and one runs, is a bit like one thousand and one nights. An epic. Not a myth though!
Back again!
My 1st marathon!
Defiance is my middle name

Hello! Back here again on Strava. Got used I think for running without announcements & music. This is the 6th route of 7 routes I run, but this is the shortest version. I will add them all here as I go on.
Edited this after my run on the way just like on Saturday but I was awake. May be its a wakeup call to be present & conscious.
All this is in aid of the Hunger Project, to help develop sustainable women centred development to end hunger by ending the causes of hunger.

#39 of 365 x 8Ks in 365 days for THP
Well, after my 36th run on Saturday morning, while I was fiddling with my phone uploading it to Strava my running app and Facebook etc, a guy on a bike snatched it off my hand and rode off with it.
It was annoying and inconvenient, but it failed to stop my runs or my life, although I couldn't use my running app, I still ran every morning my 8Ks, because nothing has changed as far as I was concerned.
I think I will run 8 Kilometres every day for the rest of my life, because I can at the age of 56, and I am doing it publicly like this not because I am a narcissist but because I am raising money to help the Hunger Project their work to empower people from poor countries to self sustain themselves.
So, go here and donate please, either as a one off or a monthly donation.
I didn't stop when most people would have and you shouldn't stop helping people to help themselves either.
Do you ever feel like the circumstances aren’t really good for doing something and then stop?
On we go...
Grateful to be alive and be able to do this!
Impossible? No it isn't
Keeping a promise
Aha moment from today’s run
Free coaching to find your “walk in the park” from ”I ain’t going there!”

Keep going come rain or shine
Seems like forever
Ran like an old cheetah!
Im running... in the rain
The earth move under my feet...
11th day adventist!
Ups, downs and in betweens of a long distance runner!
Thundering typhoons! I've done it
They went out and happened to things!

Run 365 Challenge for The Hunger Project

I am fundraising for The Hunger Project.
My project is called "run 365 challenge" and myself and a group of runners are pledging to run an agreed number of kilometres per day for a consecutive 365 days and ask sponsors to sponsor us for £1 a day for 365 days, £365 a year, paid monthly at the rate of £30.41 for 12 months.
You can track my runs if you join Strava, the running app, its free, and follow me.
So far, I have run 30 8Ks in the last 34 days.
Please pledge to sponsor and make a donation and help me reach my goal. I am looking for a minimum of 10 sponsors to sponsor me.
Also, if you are inspired, please join me, you wnt be the same person who took the challenge when you finish.
I aim to start the day 1 on Saturday 6th June 2020, my 56th Birthday! and will finish on Sunday 6th June 2021!
I will be running in UK and wherever I am even on holiday or work.
What impact will your donation have?
£25 could fund functional adult literacy training for two women so that they can learn to read and write.
£30 could provide one woman with a microfinance loan and financial literacy training so she can start a small business, earn an income and support her family.
£65 could train a local volunteer leader who will educate mothers about the importance of pre-natal care to ensure their babies are delivered safely.
£125 could train one Elected Woman in India to be an effective local council member and ban child marriage in her community.
Every pound counts! Anything you can contribute is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
