What a BRILLIANT BRILLIANT day....

Just amazing, the crowds particularly at Tower Hill.... just the BEST.

Lots of excuses and a really bad run (and walk!!!) but that is for another day. I am just delighted to have completed such an amazing event and raised all that money for the NSPCC....

Sitting here with a massive smile on my face.    

And John O won the trainer ... :o)

Day before summit day always the most tense

And that's what it feels like.

All the preparation (good and bad) all of everything - this time no physical mountain to speak to and ask for luck and permission. This time all in my head and in my legs !

The level of support and words of encouragement have been support way beyond what I expected. Brilliant!

What a buzz.........   looking forward to drinking in the sights, sounds and just enjoying the journey.

All I wish myself are to quote that Russian "Good journey traveller"  :o)  dch

Oh my....

Time is flying - went to register .... loads of people lots of excitement.

Have been setting incentives for myself again: new nike+ lunarglides special London edition for the next one!!! Oh yes .. there is another one or two or three.... or they can prop up the wardrobe if this is a disaster!!!

I am feeling very nervous and excited - 22 weeks to here and feeling so unprepared.

Brilliant news (with gift aid) over £3,500 raised for  the NSPCC :o)

The weather is lovely sunny and hot - I am hoping for snow to sweep in and cool things down. Think I may be unlucky with that one!!!

Time passing....

FUD .....


Starting to get that feeling. Time about right .....almost now.

7 Days to go

This time next week I should have completed my first marathon.

So a week to go and I'm feeling very unprepared.

Excuses, excuses - with back, knee, shoulder issues and now a cold - feels like marathon time is on me. 

I do feel like I'm on a the down slope rather than peaking at the right time.

But hey! suck it up and suffer baby suffer!!!  :o)

So pleased to have over £3000 of sponsorship signed up - has grown in importance the longer the challenge goes on.

Today I completed my 99th recorded Nike+ workout......   about 450 miles covered so fingers crossed...

OMG 9 days to go

Not that I have ever sky dived - but the ground rush effect has kicked in...
Where did all the time go?!!!?Feel very unprepared - back is feeling better but now have a cold in it's early stages.... dagnabit!!!

Carb loading - Irish style

So there are 170 cals in one pint of guinness.
Just did the calculation for last weekend.... think I may have over done it!!! by a factor of 25 !!!! :o)

Back from the wild wild west..

Fair to say - couldn't load anymore carbs than that!!!!

A big weekend of carb loading ahead

All that Ireland can bring on ..... the toughest of all the challenges so far.

I'm back... and better than before

So after what seems like forever without internet access - I'm back on line and with an all new Macbook!!! woo hooo
Let the blogs recommence ... no excuses
