Poetry in Motion
That's a pre-run smile, not a post-run one!
Not quite content with running 5K (that's 3.1 miles, for those that prefer imperial), I've decided that I'm going to read my way around the Liverpool Team Challenge course on 4th September. Yes, read aloud. It's what I'm calling 'Poetry in Motion' and I'm doing it to help raise money for our work reading with looked-after children.
But I need suggestions of things to read! Really it needs to be an anthology of poems so that I don't have loads of books or pieces of paper to carry (the first thing that springs to mind is Bloodaxe's brilliant anthology Staying Alive...) but I want any suggestions you have and I'll worry about the technicalities later.
You can donate on our CharityGiving page from now until 18th September. All proceeds are going straight towards our work with children in foster care.
(And keep your eyes peeled for the next TRO Fitness Diary...)
