The end of the first quarter of the year, JCR it’s time for a reckoning on the Alzheimer’s Challenge and here are the numbers:-
1 – friends Gerben and Jeanne who started my sponsorship rolling, with the very first donation
2 – hot on their heels, Neil and Angela who kept the impetus going
3, 4 and 5 – lovely Couch to 5K members who also sponsored me
6 – the daily average kms covered since the beginning of the year
7 – days’ running – my longest ‘running streak’ in February
8 – days running in Spain, five in Malaga covering 44km, three in Granada covering 31km
12 – individual sponsors so far – the last one being Rosalie from Mr JCR’s cycling club
14 – the first Monopoly run – 14km collecting Old Kent Road, Whitechapel, Bank, Jail & two train stations and funnily enough also my last collecting the ‘coloured’ squares of Mayfair & Park Lane
16 – my longest recorded run on 25 January
25 – Couch To 5K, the whole reason I am doing this challenge. It encouraged me to start running again and now look where I am

90 – days gone in this running year
168 – the average monthly kilometres, I must run
275 – running days to go
504 – my target kilometres for end of March
547 – my actual kilometres run to the end of March
741 – £ in sponsorship received
846 – £ in sponsorship received with tax aid
