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!!!

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...

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!!!
