I can't believe that it is only 10 weeks today until the London Marathon. It doesn't seem so long ago that I was trying really hard to run just one mile and now today I ran 12 miles. Ok, as usual it wasn't in a record breaking time (2 hours 20 mins) and I did stop to walk on the odd hill or two....but I did it.
I'm hoping that my photo of me crossing the finish line has a time that begins with a 4. Knowing my luck it will be 5:00:01 and there will be a giant yellow banana in the background or one of those rhino runners. My aim is to finish in under 5 hours, my original dream of just over 4 hours, I now realise was just a fantasy.
This week my training will hopefully go to plan even with the kids at home for half term. Tuesday is a 6 mile run, Thursday hill running (yuck...I HATE HILLS), 3 miles on Saturday and then the long one Sunday - 14 miles.
I've had some lovely people sponsor me this week. One of the girl's teachers at parent evening asked to sponsor me and then one of my neighbours saw my poster in my car and sponsored me a pound a mile. Really generous of them. There's a link to my sponsorship page on the right or ask me for my sponsorship form - i carry it everywhere.
Thanks for reading. Sarah xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
