Achiles

Saturday 19th January - Rest day today - my achiles is still hurting, so maybe I won't push it tomorrow. Been reading online accounts of other people's marathon efforts - very inspiring!

Real Running

Friday 18th January - Went out for a run with Minehead Running Club today. You may have seen us (sorry to the people in the cash machine queue!), a line of luminous running vests followed by a fat bloke in black! I enjoyed it though, ggod to run with others - I'll be back next Friday.

Today's thanks for sponsorship goes to Kathy.

Todays' Training: Real running!

Boogie

More Plans

Wednesday 16th Jan - Rest day. Thanks to Kathy for pushing up my sponsorship total today.

I have downloaded entry form for Bideford half marathon in March. Looks like the ideal event to aim for.

Todays training: Saying no to chocolate cake - hardest day so far!

Glow

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

Also, many thanks to The Porlock Posse for sponsoring me today.

Today's training: Dancing with Gordon, in my new dame shoes.

Taxing Day

Sunday 13th January - Still aching a little from yesterday.

Got my official email from London Marathon confirming my entry. It's all real now!
