8 more sleeps! We're nearly there

The lovely London Marathon page on Facebook today popped up to say there are 9 days to go!!!

The most fantastic way to start this update is to be able to say I have reached my Fundraising target and at the time of posting it stands at - £ 2127.65 I am truly humbled and blessed by the generosity that people have shown in supporting WaterAid in helping me reach this target.

100 Days to Go - And Counting!

Eek!! So it seems I’ve hit the big 100 day countdown, and now it’s time to get serious!

I started my formal training plan at the beginning of the year, but now its crunch time! So far, it seems to be going really well - running 3 - 4 times a week, with a longer run most Sundays!

I’ve forcefully become acclimatised to arctic temperatures to run in - all included in the fun of being a crazy marathon runner!

Running for WaterAid

I realised it would probably be helpful to share some of the background to why I am running the Marathon, who I will be running for and why.

Why am I doing this ?

I had the opportunity to go to Rwanda in 2005 and I have very clear memories from that trip of seeing people walking huge distances, carrying heavy water containers - on a daily basis. Everyone appeared to have to go through this - from the youngest to the oldest.
