Can't believe I'm going to be running in such a fantastic marathon!! But on 4th November 2007 I'm running the ING New York City Marathon - along with all you other NYC bloggers.
Only been running 4 years - started out as a bit of 'keep fit at 50' and a Race 4 Life .. but am beginning to think I must be a real runner as I've now completed 4 half marathons (all GNR and in the 4th just got a PB!!) plus lot of other 10ks etc along the way. NYC Marathon is coming round a bit fast now but more or less managing to stick to the 'get you round' schedule.
I'm running for GOSH Childrens Charity

Really looking forward to the challenge - and just aiming to complete......and prove I can do it!!! (Under 5 hours would be absolutely brilliant!!).

Hiya Everyone
Well, I've been through every emotion this week.... scared, excited, scared, nervous, excited and ...panic! Have I done enough? will all the training (!) have paid off? Have I got my power bars?
I think I AM ready now...
Hi All
Not long now! tapered seriously last week - both running and blogging- so catching up now!
Only managed a couple of short runs plus a decent 13-miler last week - but feeling confident (!?*). Short runs from now on, plus eatin...
Final very long run yesterday (almost 18 miles) - so can now start to taper.
Tried a different fuel strategy and spend ages choosing bars and gels and jelly babies.... and found some really nice ones. Isn't sad when you can 'treat' yourself ...
Finally did the 20 miles LSR yesterday ,,,,,,,Slow being the very relevant adjective!! Think my legs were still tired from GNR as it took me nearly 4 hours to complete.... but it was very warm yesterday at South Shields (well that's my excuse)

Hi Everyone
Back to schedule after euphoria of GNR last weekend.....and beginning to panic now it's only 4 weeks away

Hello all
Soooooooo pleased with my GNR time today - 2:06:26
A PB for me and 10 minutes better than last year.
Really good running conditions - mild and sunny, but not too hot.
Start of the run was more organised but ...
Hi everyone
Did an early morning run today (6 miles starting at 05.30!!!!) - quite spooky running past the GNR finish at South Shields and seeing all the Charity Village tents looming out of the dark. Let's hope I feel as relaxed a...
After the euphoria of the cycling holiday, bit of a setback as full of cold earlier in the week . So...... abandoned the idea of long run at the weekend, as didn't want to chance getting worse, and just stoking up on mega multi vits and echinacea (...
Great cycling holiday in Provence - 150 miles over 5 days..... but back to the running now. Had to tweak the schedule to accommodate hols, so building up to long (20 Miles) run this weekend. Managed 6+miles this morning before work - it was f...
