Morning!!
I am mentally preparing myself for Sunday's Half Marathon in Inverness. Yup..That is how I choose to spend Mother's Day. As much as the idea of sitting on my bum with chocolates and the 3 men in my life is tempting, I am going to run for a few hours instead around Inverness.
This will be my first half but it is fitting in with the overall picture of training so should be a good experience.
Last Sundays run was the furthest 11 and a bit miles. I say "a bit" because it involved running around a few lamposts just to get me to 11 miles but then back to my car!! lol I had taken a new route to save me from boredom but by then end my mind was wandering and my ankle was niggling. I was also cold (which I just can't seem to avoid)
There were plenty of other folk running and cycling so it was actually my first run where I had to avoid people!
I was really happy that I had done it and feel more positive now.
I never appreciated the distance before I started running..now I do. 
Fundraising... I have finished with my Quiz night letters now.Thank goodness. All in all I got some good stuff. I have the usual toiletries and chocolates etc but I've also got theatre and football tickets,restaurant and gift shop vouchers,massage, and a signed cycling top from Mark Beaumont.
As far as the cycle top goes I am hopeful that I can advertise with some local cycle groups about the top.Since Mark is still in the news ( in Scotland) I 'm hoping some of his fans might like to come and bid on the top.
I am about to attempt to make Tablet to sell too. If you've never tried it..you should.Its the most sugary,tooth rotting thing you could ever eat! I think it's a Scottish thing.
It basically involves a lot of boiling sugar! So I'm putting my health at risk by even making it.lol
I have a few takers so if it means i get another £100 for LOOK I shall do it.
Hopefully I can post my tablet updates here....I might be missing some skin due to flying sugar but fingers crossed!!
Happy Running!!!

I was pleased I made it to the gym because it's so easy to talk yourself out of it.
