10 miles is a loooong way to run

The dts team plus leaders and anyone else who wanted to run

We did it!! So proud of my team, all of us made it (somehow) and crossed that finish line! Amazingly it was cloudy and drizzly this morning, which was such a God send, because it is so much easier to run when the temperature isn't at a billion degrees. We started at 6am to make sure it was cool enough, which meant getting up at 5 to make sure we ate in time.
Attaching (homemade) numbers
Looking all official

Not everyone was awake at that time!

I managed to run the whole way, I was determined not to walk at all and somehow managed it! I think it helped that Vange acted as my personal trainer and helped me pace myself and kept me going. She would keep running so I had to keep running! We crossed the finish line in 1 hr 23 mins :)



Thank you so much for all the funding and support, it has been incredible :) We are so much closer to reaching our goal for outreach, but we still have a bit more we need to raise so if anyone else would like to support us the link is: http://www.gofundme.com/footstepsforfreedom
I loved doing this for the team but I don't think I'll be running 10 miles again for a little while!!
