On Sunday 16th July, Teri took part in her first ever 5k run, for the Reading Race For Life, and managed to succeed in the challenge she set herself of running all the way!
Kate, Jo and Hannah all participated on the day, and between the four of us we managed to raise a massive £303 (the large majority of that thanks to Kate's online sponsor page!).
We set off in the 3.30pm race; Kate and Teri were at the front of the 'joggers' pack and Jo and Hannah started with the 'walkers'. It was very emotional seeing everyone with people's names pinned to their backs, showing who they were running for. There was a horrible steep hill at the 3km point, but Teri managed to push herself to run up it and continued to the end in a time of 33 minutes and 30 seconds! It was much better than expected and this has now set the pace for next year's time...
Jo and Hannah came in a little while later, running the last 50m together with Teri and Kate cheering them to the finish line! We were all very proud of ourselves!
