RUNNING ALL THE WAY.... by REAO69

Well my training starts in ernest this week. I've been doing regular 5 and 6k runs and my calf feels like it is completely back to normal now so here we go...

Bought a garmin forerunner because I want to know exactly how far I am running now.

I will definitely have done at least two tenty mile plus runs before next years marathon.

I just have to hope that I get a place. Did the run last year through a guaranteed place for Kidney Research UK, which is a charity very close to my heart. I felt really good and raised nearly £1300 and I have a lot of people to thank for that, but especially Emma, Phil, Lee, Alex and the South of France crew.

However, it is amazing how difficult it can be to get people to help you fundraise or even make a donation!

Anyway, that aside, I am doing it for the Kidneys again and I'm hoping that I can better the amount I raised.

I've definitely learned from last years experience so I am hoping to better everything in 2008.

Run strong...
