    I have started a new post in the running training section to record my efforts up to my next target race - the Stubbington 10K in January. Hope to still hear from some of you that have provided me with so much support over the last few months!

    Generosity

    I can't believe the number of people who I didn't get round to asking for sponsorship, who are now giving me money after the event! Thanks everyone! It is particularly helpful to the charity at the moment as we have just had some bad publicity due to a completely fictious article in the local newspaper including the publication of names and home addresses of some of our volunteers! The result is that the volunteers are getting animals dumped on their doorsteps and we are already full to capacity. We are contacting other charities to try and find space for them, but until then we have animals living in downstairs cloakrooms!

    Still on a high!

    Can't wait to get out running again. The GSR has filled me fullof enthusiasm, but I had better wait until the blisters have healed (struggling to walk at the moment) and the muscles recovered. Continuing on from yesterday - I would also like to say thanks to my In-Laws who came and supported us in the rain. I was anxious that they would try to pamper me too much before, so that I wouldn't be able to warm up properly, stuff me full of chocolate straight afterwards (which would have made me sick), and try to give me a big hug when my legs felt like jelly and would have collapsed at the slightest excuse. However, they were great (although they did insist on leaving chocolate with us, I didn't eat it). And it was wonderful having someone else drive me home and look after my dry clothes.

    What next?

    Do I continue with this blog or change to a new category? What is everyone else going to do?

    Woo Hoo!

    What an experience! Even with the rain. Have already registered for notification for entry for next year. Damn hard work - chafing on my shoulders and a blister about the size of a two-pence piece on the sole of my foot but I would recommend it to anyone. Completed in 1:58:36, which was a disappointment as I wanted to finish nearer 1:50, but I managed to run all the way round and found the energy to encourage those that were struggling! Well done to everyone else. I was on the web last night checking out everyone elses times and congratulatios in particular to Sharon Taylor and the Roberts sisters! I noticed that you all beat me though by a long way, but who cares! In particular I want to say thanks to all the spectators who cheered me on even though they didn't know me and I wasn't running for their charity. Also to all the Marshalls and police. Thanks everyone for standing out in the rain and geting soaked and chilled just to put on a spectacular event for us! Here's to next year!!!!
