Story

Hi Everyone,

Just to to let you all know I competed the marathon in 4 hours and 20 minutes. It was 25 Celsius and 95% humidity which sure made the challenges that little bit harder. I did not let it defeat me and got to the finish line. It was such an amazing and wonderful experience. I am now looking to find my next marathon to enter so watch this spot.

Thank you to all for your generous donations.

Love Eleanor x


Hi Everyone,

So the time has come for me to start my fundraising page. I am running the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon on the 28th Feb 2010. I have been training now for the past 3 months and am up to running 17 miles. I love running and thought it was finally time to put it to good use, so I thought I would run 26.2 miles and really challenge myself. Training has been going well and so far I have not suffered any major injuries apart from a few aches and pains after my long runs.

I am aiming to complete the marathon in 4 hours and my training would suggest that I will, but if I complete it under 4 hours 30 minutes it will still be a huge achievement.

I have chosen to raise money for Cancer Research as it is a cause I feel can always use more money for more research and treatment and help sufferers. It is an illness that has affected most people whether it a family member or friend, so I'm hoping you can all dig deep to help me reach my target of £1000.

No matter how small the donation it will all be greatly received and I appreciate the time you have taken to read my page and donate your money.

I will keep my page updated on how my training etc comes along over the next few weeks and once I have completed the Marathon I will post my final time.

Please all be thinking of me on the day as I run the 26.2 miles.

Thanks again to everyone

Love

Eleanor xx


Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update. I completed my 19 mile run on Sunday in 2 hours 42 minutes so training is all going well. Injury free and a very painful sports massage later I am feeling more and more prepared for the 26 miles.

I want to thank you all for your donations so far and I will be sure to keep you posted on how it all goes on the day.

Love

Eleanor x
