I loved this run as it gave me a chance to add 2 more runs onto my year long charity challenge for PapyrusUK 🙂

Loved the #RudolphsRedNoseRun challenge. It got me out the door on a very cold day, where I could have easily stayed in the warm. Feeling great after completing it!
The medal was super cute & stunning too.
