Ok,so I have a Golden Bond place for the Virgin London Marathon 2010!! Yipee!!

 Im raising money for LOOK which helps kids with visual impairments and will be donning a fancy dress of sorts to help me along the way. I was unlucky in the 2000 ballot and have always wanted to do a Marathon.....and its taken 10 years!

Im looking forward to the training although it's been a while since the running.Was always fit until children came along so the challenge should be fun!!

Hopefully this blog will keep me motivated!

Who gave permission for it to snow again??

Ok....who was it??

Got a mere smattering of snow last night but I ain't running on it!

My knee has still been giving me niggles and even although I rested it it seemed to get worse...not devastatingly bad but enough for me to leave the running. I'm blaming it on running too fast and/or/both wearing cheapie Uggs around the house which give as much support as walking with jelly round your ankles...

So after improvising an ice pack with freezer bag and 80p worth of green dishwashing liquid I have iced ,anti inflammed and rested.

Tonight I may go for a walk to see how it is and then work on some core work at home and helping my quads a bit.

I also have a little boy with an ear infection today so not getting too much done around the house.

I really need to get my bum in gear about fundraising.It's very easy to get out the flow and then you realise that your still hundreds of pounds away!!!

Well tis Thursday yet again..where does the time go. I still need to sort travel to London,fancy dress, leaflets,flyers blah de blah de blah. Urghhhhh! And runningCool

I treated myself to a Premium Account today. (wooooooohhhh) so I now have a nice pink set up. I am sooooo not girly but today I fancied it and I bought myself some socks with the discount lol.

Hope everyone is training hard one way or the other.xx

Put this here because it reminds me of nicer weather and I took the photo.lol

ooh Nice photo! Sorry about the ankle - make sure you keep icing, every half hour and tut tut to those unsupportive boots, but we're all guilty of those.

Time does goes by far too quickly, can't believe it's already almost the weekend and another LSR looming.. I'm going to try for 18miles this weekend - a BIG one! lol My ankle twinges at the thought of it so I'm telling it it's ok, it'll be a slow plod.

Cheap train tickets are out now, or so everyone else is saying, so quick - grab yourself one!

I would try and get the trip sorted whilst the running is a no go. Hope you feel active and able to get out and about again soon! But better to take it steady short term to ensure fitness long term. And I hope your son's ear gets better soon also!!

Loving the new pink look

Not sure where the washing up gel came into the ice pack but if it works for you great!

I hope the ear clears up soon. I hope all your injuries get better too. Good luck with the fundraising.
