The 31st December 2018 is the cut-off date for my Justgiving running challenge raising funds for Womankind Charity.

I successfully reached my 100 Half Marathon goal, and along the way raised £2498.92 plus £100 from the Poppy Half Marathon for Womankind Charity, and £961.00 for local Brighton domestic abuse charity RISE.

Barring any last minute additions my grand total is:

£3559.92 !! 🙌

Thanks to everyone who supported me through donations and encouragement.

Last minute donations can be made here before the 31/12/2018 deadline:

A Coruña, Spain 🇪🇸

10K run to the lighthouse and back. 51:44mins

Long afloat on shipless oceans

I did all my best to smile

'Til your singing eyes and fingers

Drew me loving to your isle

And you sang

Sail to me

Let me enfold you

Here I am

Waiting to hold you

Did I dream you dreamed about me?

Were you hare when I was fox?

Now my foolish boat is leaning

Broken lovelorn on your rocks,

For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow:

O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow"

I am puzzled as the newborn child

I am troubled at the tide:

Should I stand amid the breakers?

Should I lie with Death my bride?

Hear me sing, "Swim to me, Swim to me, Let me enfold you:

Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you"

- Tim Buckley ‘Song to the Siren’ 1968

My ears first happened upon a version of this sung by This Mortal Coil in the late 80s, and then again in more recent years by Sinead O’Connor, Jimmy Page and John Frusciante.

All beautifuls 🖤
