My 2020 Challenges To Get Fit Before 50 #fitb4fifty

Having achieved my 2019 fitness goals its time to set out my challenges for 2020 so far, especially ones that are for before I turn 50 in October! This year I am dedicating my fundraising to CLIC Sargent and have target of £595 to reach...

1) RED January

2) Manchester Marathon 

A walk to Kendal Castle #REDJanuary

Then up the path to the castle:
