Under 4 Weeks - OH NO

Firstly a big, big thank you for all the recent donations Louise Roberts, that was really generous of you, you are a lovely person, Jack and Amar not so lovely but good people thank you and an anonymous donation of £111.00 from ‘another fan’ so lets think about this, no Tax bonus so not from the UK, not wanting to leave there name? Ok I can think of one likely candidate, I’ll get back to you if I’m correct, but I think he’s a New Yorker and obviously a really good person, but wanting to be anonymous.
And the running
Less then four weeks to go, am I ready, well no not really. Went on a long run last Tuesday about 17 miles, it was painful, had to stop at a petrol garage and top up my water bottle at there tap, had no money on me to buy some, the garage attendant must have thought I was mad. One more long run to do, will attempt 20 miles should have gone today but have a hangover. Met up with Richard, Amar, Pierre and a lot of people from RQA London for a drink last night a special thank you to Helen Hope for persuading me to have that last drink, or was it the other way round, my heads to fuzzy to remember. A great bunch of people and I wish them all the best, even Jack who jumped at the chance to sit at my old desk :}.So the plan for this week is to run 20 tomorrow, followed by a couple of short runs Thursday and Friday, then next week its less mileage as I begin to ramp the miles down in preparation for the big day, well that’s the plan, please keep up the donations and remind any one that needs a reminder, thanks for visiting see you soon.

1 Month 6 Days to go

Its been a few weeks again, sadly I no longer work at Blackrock hence why I have not got round to posting anything. The donations have been coming in though, a big thanks to Michael Kishinevsky a great guy in New York for his large donation, it was really kind of him. BLK was a great place to work, and I will miss them, especially Richard, Mr Sagoo and the whole of RQA in London, I wish them all the best in these hard times. Any way enough of all that back to the running 17 miles this morning around country lanes in the sunshine, I could get used to this…Thanks again to everyone bye for now.

Sorry been bad again, 1 Month 20 Days to go – Have clocked up 34 + miles this week ran 12 miles on Monday, my poor legs. Thanks to all those who have donated so far its really kind of you. Here are some of the words of encouragement I have received so far.

Nice one Terry. I recommend starting to carb load from now onwards with pie & beer

Running for a worthy cause - you got my vote.

From one marathon runner to another, congratulations on getting the London marathon entry. What kind of time are you looking for ? What times are you getting for your long runs ?

I found that running around the hilly area of Muswell Hill really helped me when I ran my Oct 08 Dublin marathon.

You are definitely mad, but have a greater will power than me. Good luck for the run and I will continue to watch your blog over the next weeks.

That's ok - they are well deserved…I think it's really cool that you are doing it. I hope you reach your target.

Will BlackRock match your sponsorship money?

Will be attempting 14 miles before work next Monday should be fun.

Go on I dare someone to post a reply.
