Well, despite the cold, the wind, the puddles and the fact that I was on my own I finally achieved 40 minutes, which puts me back to where I was before the blood incident. I think I'm officially 3 weeks behind schedule, but at least I'm going in the right direction again.
I did hear from two people this week who really pushed me forward, the first was a person I work with who is also doing the marathon next year, but she was a bit of a runner anyway. She gave me some really useful advice that I put into practice yesterday and it helped. We are also going to meet up and run together but she's already up to 10 miles so I need to catch up a bit.
The second was my sister Jan (wears a headband well) she now has a place in the marathon running for one of the cancer charities. She also does a bit of running and gym visiting so once again - a bit of catching up to do. I won't now look like 'Billy no mates' on the day and hopefully we can get each other round.
So, this morning . . . intake of fuel! - another 40 minute run (I can do it), 20 sit-ups (last minute cramming for the little black dress), weekends housework crammed into 2 hours, shower, packing and in the car by 1 pm for trip to Birmingham - where's my fairy godmother when I need her???
Running for health, happiness and a good laugh whatever your age, size or fitness level
