VLM 10 by mrneil

...so i thought i best update my blog!

Well, where do I start?

* The training hasnt been ideal, would hoping to be further into my training than I am, but not much I can do about it now - eeekk! Had a few niggles, so just taking it easy now
* Tapering is going well. Went for an 8 mile run on Sunday.
* Really nervous/excited/freaking out now
* Definitely going to be doing a run/walk strategy
* Booked a ferry this morning, so if this volcanic ash doesnt disappear anytime soon, I still have a plan b
* Held a raffle on Friday, with prizes donated by local companies. Was selling the tickets over the last few weeks, raised £750. Also held another raffle with signed ManUtd items, this raised £300
* Managed to get the missus out for a run tonight. I'm doing the Great Manchester Run for the 6th time this year, and I've managed to talk her into it. She's had a year to train for it, but starting now is better than no training at all!! Went for a 1.5mile run tonight

Think thats it. Oh, I got in from work yesterday and the missus had booked us tickets for the Oxegen Festival in Ireland! Cant wait! Anyone else going?

Anyway, must go. Hope to update this before the big day, be it from Weymouth, Gatwick Airport or Jersey!!!!
