It will be March next week and I will be able to say, ”I am running a marathon next month!” It is suddenly getting very close, just over 50 days to go, but it has been a long journey. I started running for Sport Relief, with the team from Longborough, in March of last year. It was only 6 miles but when I finished I felt such a sense of achievement.
Now the challenge is 26 miles! Training is on track (well on the road usually) and I completed a 15 mile run last Sunday in under 3 hours. Using the stairs at Longborough on Monday was no fun but a lovely 1200m swim got all my creaking muscles moving again. On Wednesday I had a nice short, fast, 5 mile run around my local cricket club (trying to dodge all the dog walkers and their pooches who think it is fun to chase me).
Everyone running for Chase has been invited to meet up this weekend for some inspirational talks and to see how the money raised will be used. It will be good to compare notes and tips with fellow runners. I believe there is a team of 80 people. (I hope they aren’t all serious athletes!) But even if they do have to wait for me at the finishing line I am determined to get there. It will all be worthwhile if we can help children with a limited life expectancy.
Your sponsorship will be greatly appreciated. Please go to my justgiving page.
Thanks
