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 4

Didn’t run Saturday raining hard hung over from firework night celebrations. Went to go for a run Tuesday lunchtime forgot tee shirt. Actually made the first run of the week on Wednesday, still felt quite good, had to laugh coming back by the Tower of London a young lady in a short black skirt and high heels started running with me trying to interview me, something about fitness in the city even had a cameraman running in front trying to take a picture, she was a bit incoherent though, soon got out of breath and gave up. So young lady if ever you land on this page please tell me what it was all about, how bizarre.
