Run for their life’s

As some of you may know for the last few years I have been trying to secure a place in the Flora London Marathon, well my time has come, confirmation dropped on my mat Saturday morning, the 2009 race is on Sunday 26th April. Most people think at the age of 49 having run one marathon previously, that I am completely mad. I must admit knowing the training that I had to do last time, the injuries I received and the thought of those last six miles together with the pain afterwards, I could barely walk for 24 hours, I tend to agree with them. Unfortunately I am not as fit as I was three years ago at least 1/2 stone heavier so this is going to be a long hard slog for me, but for me it’s a must do before I die quest. Not just for myself I also want to help other people I have therefore decided to run the marathon and to raise as much money as I can for two children’s charities that are dear to my heart.

Training week 2

Monday: Richard is keeping up the hard core training regime, he just seemed to run off, I am sure he knows what he’s doing, he’s a great trainer.

Wednesday: I am sure this is working, started my training run and off he went, this is great, still feeling tired and slightly out of breath.

Bloody disaster! Richard the trainer fell off a climbing wall last night, I have never seen such bruising in my life, although its not broken it looks like he’s got a black sock on, not sure what Iam going to do without my trainer.

Went for a 6 mile run on Saturday, dropped my daughter off at dancing, iPod on shuffle and off I went, nice easy pace, weather was great, remember why I used to enjoy running so much.
