24 days to go!!!

After weeks of training it's almost time to reduce the mileage.. My last 20 mile run is this weekend then it fingers crossed, maintain fitness, prevent injuries and stay away from anyone with a cold!!

Training in winds of up to 45mph, rain, hail and even a freak sand storm on Edinburgh's coast has not made it easy, but hopefully conditions will be a little kinder in London.

Have managed to kill 5 toenails, strain my adductor again.. and have a dose of shin splints..  but hey thats all part of it. I have also managed a new pb for a half marathon so that's a good sign.

I have had some amazing support and words of encouragement along the way, anything extra will be a bonus. Couldn't have done it without you!

Good luck to all running. I will try to update again in a couple of weeks.

Thank you!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Your donations are greatly appreciated and will enhance the work of CLIC Sargent who are currently the UK's leading cancer charity for children and young people, and their families. They provide clinical, practical, financial and emotional support to help individuals cope with cancer and get the most out of life. A little goes a long way.

Another year another challenge! 24 days to go!!!

This time London marathon is calling! In the year of the 2014 Glasgow Commonweath games I will take on 26.2miles to run one of the most iconic marathons in the world.

Running the same route as Paula Radcliffe (WR) and alongside Mo Farah, however if this happens my pacing will be drastically off :), will be a fantastic feeling! I will be a dot in a mass sea of runners taking part for various reasons in various outfits after months of gruelling training and sacrifices. After lots of porridge and bananas it will all be worth it for a great charity.

Please support me in my challenge of early mornings, long 22 mile runs in the wind, snow and not forgetting horizontal Scottish rain!

The marathon was not enough this year so I am also signed up for the Scottish Tough Mudder in June! (http://toughmudder.co.uk/events/scotland-2014/) Bring on the ice baths, swamps, electric wires and fire!!! Oh dear. Please sponsor me.

 

Many Thanks
