"If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run." -John Bingham

54'48 by my watch!!! New Personal Best. Thanks to Matt for keeping me moving, Phil for seeing us off and enduring the rain to see us come through (although he wasn't expecting us through at that time and missed us!) and Abi for cycling to the 7.5k mark and giving me a boost! X

Day of the big race tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who has shown their support either by donating to Headway or with advice on the nutritional value of mars bars vs bananas (I know which I prefer), emotional support with Jake and my Nan, my running partner Matt and the ever despairing Phil who has tried in vain to allow him to train me and will be willing me over the finish line. Today is pasta, rest and dog TLC day.

Well, whilst everyone was enjoying a nice Friday night in or better still out in town, Matt and I were out training once again. One more run until the big race....thanks for all your support so far!

Those of you may know that my Nan has just died and the funeral is 3 days before the race, so I'm now doing this for my Nan. I'll make you proud my Nan x

Thanks to everyone who has donated so far - it really does motivate you. I've run faster and further this week because of it! X

Ok, so tips I've had so far include the usual - eat complex and simple carbs an hour before the run, drink coffee, eat bananas, eat chocolate ....but my favourite by far is "find a cute male bum and follow it!"

Those of you who know me well, know that I'm passionate about my job as a neuropsychologist and frustrated by the lack of services the NHS provides. Without charities like Headway helping to plug this gap and provide onward support to patients and their families immediately and long after a head injury, stroke, tumour etc. I shudder to think how isolated these survivors would feel. Am hoping not to break my arm training this year so I can actually make it to the start line and with your donations I'll feel all the more motivated to cross the finish line too.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
