20 to go........

Really enjoyed that run today. Cold, clear and dry. Fantastic. Up early and out meant the day wad mine. Thanks Harry for the 5am wake up call but do wish you would go back your own bed. The extrA hour and half sleep I wanted would have been nice. I still would got up at 7 for 7:30 start. Countdown begins. 

Happy Birthday Harry.............21 weeks to go

Happy birthday Harrry. 

My Lille boy is 3 today so it is all about him today. Presents, party and lots of fun. Long run can wait; today is about this little man. To watch you run around and play games with your friends makes me so happy. 

My thoughts are with families who don't have a child who can move and play freely with spontaneity. This is why I am running the marathon. The chance for a child to be independent and happy; the family the opportunity to do what we all love HAVE FUN TOGETHER. 

Reality Came Home

Wow! Today was a chance to meet fellow Whizz Kidz runners. What an inspiring yet daunting day. To hear from someone so brave who has really appreciates what Whiz Kidz did for them and help them turn their life around was inspiring. Then the reality hit home! The run, the course and the training. The seminar was amazing. Loads of information but most of tip bits to help improve training. Left you feeling wow I could really do this if I prepare properly. Thanks @philroberton @whizzkidz @AlexJamesRitson

Ouch! I took a fall..........

Today was a little interesting. With the road being a little greasy and there being mist in the air it wasn't surprising that a fall would happen! Shock it was as I put my fort down turning a corner and whoosh my feet went from under me. Only 3 minutes in the rest of the run was painful. A grazed butt and a bleeding arm only reminded me of the pain yet to come. My pain is nothing I was able to get up and complete my run but some children never have the chance, that's why I am running for Whizz Kidz 

I've still been training..,.....

Well it's been nearly a week since my last blog. Before you ask I am still running and going to the gym, even threw in a family swim as well. 

How do I feel? Fantastic. Even with a wedding only 10 days away the training still keeps coming, the blogs may not but the road is still being hit, 100%! 

So here's how it's going:-

A Week on.........

A week into the training and the plan goes: run; gym; run; gym; run; gym. In this heat am I mad!!!!!!

What is great that the pacing is under 10 minutes. Feeling good!!

And So The Training Begins

Well today was hot. First run of the training is over and done with. I know it does look much but I'm only staring out following the London Marathon Beginners programme. What I like is the pace per mile; Not bad for a zero. 

So here we go 39 weeks until the big day. I think the weather may play it's part but all in all I enjoyed the first set if miles.
