Well, I have just smashed through the $3000 mark!! So I am now over 60% of the way to the target. Thanks to everyone so far for their support.
I have decided that I will absorb the extra trip cost mentioned in my last post, so my fundraising target will remain the same at $5000.

I went for a run yesterday for the first time in two months! It felt yucky but I am sure that it will improve with time.
There is no site work for me in the near future - at least that I know about! - so I have no excuses not to get into cycling and acclimatising myself to sitting on a bicycle seat.
Those cross trainer things that they had on site are not really my cup of tea. I like being outdoors and running around in the open spaces!
