Getting back into it all now!
I am really getting into this running thing now.Managed 18.7 miles in total this week and feel quite good on it. It was only because I was able to get out more in the daytime. In the evenings I have to limit my routes due to lack of streetlights so it's very repetitive and BORING!
I joined a gym as well but I cant bring myself to run on the treadmills.They are so stuffy and horrible.
I did my LSR yesterday so having a nice relaxing day today. I did 8 miles yesterday.Had a bit of a wobble when the Garmin claimed it was about to run out of power. Bloody cheek....just when I need to document my longest run to date and you go and fade on me.The NERVE!!
Thankfully it didnt. Very pleased I was and felt surprsingly good after it.I even managed to avoid the post race headache. Hurray.
My friend helped me drum up some support yesterday for my Quiz night but I need to get the finger out and keep on sending letters.I dont know what takes up more time...running or fundraising.
So one week gone and another week closer to the big day.Hopefully people will start donating other wise my husband is going to pay me £1300 to run the London Marathon in a beach volley ball outfit...which if you dont know consists of very little material and there is not enough money in the world to make me do that......well maybe there is
Have a good week running to whoever is running. x

emmteeyess 'From what I've seen of beach volleyball outfits there isn't enough material to pin your race number to - so there's your get out clause!! Best of luck with it - whatever you wear. Cheers, MTS' added 24th Jan 2010
