Having supported London Marathon runners for the previous two years and loved the whole experience, I decided 9 months ago that I really should attempt it myself..... after all, how hard can it be right??!!

Oh Frew, you will so be eating those words!  So, with 11 weeks to go and a half marathon race under my belt, I am now starting this blog to keep me on track and focused as the hard times really begin. 

To ensure I take this seriously, I am fundraising for a fantastic charity in memory of Jo Butler, a beautiful friend who sadly passed away on the 9/05/2004 from a muscle heart condition called cardiomyopathy.

Wish me luck and I promise to keep you updated along the way!!!

Strains, pains and automobiles!

Hiya folks,

After spending Sunday evening scaring myself silly that I had done real damage to my knee, following a few minutes of drama I pulled myself together and did a bit of research!  I have given in and will lay off the running until Thursday night, when I have a scheduled 7 miles with a friend, and I am following some exercises to help strengthen the abbductor, hips and band which runs from the hip down to the outside of the knee. 

Not being one to sit and do nothing, I managed my Body Pump and Body Balance classes last night with no problems and Tuesday is my teaching night so I will be rallying the lovely ladies along in Body Conditioning and a Core Pilates Class tonight!

Fingers crossed I can resume running as normal on Thursday..... it would have been such a nice night for it tonight too!   

Hope all is well in your lovely little running lands!  Laughing
