Achey legs but smiles on faces

Hello one and all,

I've mentioned before that I'm taking part in my first sportive (big cycling event), this was quite a big challenge for me because I never really commit to anything, as your reading this I have 3 weeks to go until the day.

At the moment I'm finding it really hard to stick with it and go out and train, don't get me wrong I still love cycling! But as training for the event picks up I just find myself to have achey legs and feeling really down that I don't seem to be improving. Then I look at the cyclist fighting cancer website, which is the charity that are organising the event. I read the stories of the people that aren't much younger than me, that are suffering or are recovering from cancer treatments those stories really put 100km into perspective. 

Now I'm not saying I'm some sort of hero because 1000s of people raise money for charity every day,  but it will be an achievement and  hopefully if I cross the finish line on the 25th I will have achey legs but a huge smile on my face because I know I will have made a difference to other peoples lives
.

I hope this blog wasn't to preachy,  I'll link the charities page here, because they can explain what they do a lot better than I can.
