We are Team Hocking!

Team Hocking consists of Rosie, Hannah, Sarah, Tom and Debs and on the 26th April 2009 we will be running the Flora London Marathon for the Parkinson's Disease Society.

Why are we doing this? Well our Dad has had Parkinson's Disease for 22 years. This is a progressive neurological disease and its effects mean that Dad now requires full time care. The Parkinson's Disease Society has provided our family with a lot of support and information over the years and so this is our way  of giving something back.

My longest run ...so far

Rosie

Well this morning i set off in brilliant sunshine and blue skies wearing my sun glasses - but 2 hours later it was pouring down with rain so felt a bit stupid running with sun glasees on at that point.  Ran 14.5 miles around exeter.  Took me longer than i had hoped - 2 hours 35 mins but it wasn't a flat route!  Usually i do a long run by the canal and estuary which is all flat - and have been doing 12 miles in just over 2 hours.  Ate a couple of jelly babies every 30 mins and took some water and lucozade sport drink with me and felt good.  Felt like i could have gone on longer, which is probably a good thing seeing as i'm marathon training!  Not sure the rest of the team are feeling quite so good and all seem to be injured - hopefully, i won't be doing the marathon alone.  Fundraising going well - £6460, just £2040 to go!
