Tuesday 15th January - Ran around the streets of Minehead for an hour tonight. Very wet, very windy, very enjoyable. No really, it was great! I plotted out a route over the weekend using the device on the London Marathon website. Route I planned works out at 4.87 miles. Managed it in about 51 minutes (must update my sundial!).
Read today that Laura Radcliffe is running the FLM this year. I'd better watch where I'm treading!
Thanks to the generosity of Kaz's clients, my sponsorship total has grown to £158 (+ gift aid).
Today's training: Warm self-righteous post run glow

Join me on my quest to run the 2008 Flora London Marathon and at the same time, raise as much as possible for Kidney Research
Why Kidney Research?
Kidney Research UK supports research aimed at finding better treatments, and ultimately a cure, for kidney disease. We have over £9 million invested in research at any one time, awarding grants to doctors, nurses and researchers across the UK. We also award grants to kidney patients so that they can cope with the unexpected costs of their condition, and campaign for better patient access to renal services.
For those that don't know, I have Polycystic Kidney Disease. The type I have is carried in your genes (sorry kids!). My mother has it too and had a transplant about 10 years ago. But apart from a few pills each morning to control blood pressure and the odd ache & pain I don't know I've got it. I have just had a host of scans & tests and have been passed fit, so what better time to run a marathon? I am supposed to keep fit & eat healthy, plus I have just turned 40, so perhaps it is some sort of mid-life thing too!
