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.
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.
