"The marathon is a charismatic event. It has everything. It has drama. It has competition. It has camaraderie. It has heroism. Every jogger can't dream of being an Olympic champion, but he can dream of finishing a marathon."

Back on the roads:)

I haven't blogged in weeks and weeks but then who wants to read about me on a running machine!!yep,I picked up a niggly injury in November and have been back down to 3 milers on a running machine.i hate running machines!!!they aid you by 14% so when you do eventually run outside its a killer!!anyway,got myself a new physio who is worth her weight in gold!!!been seeing her for 2 weeks now and this morning I ran a ten miler outside at a good pace.plus I cracked out another 2 six milers earlier in the week.dont get me wrong though.they where not easy.i have scar tissue on my hamstring from an injury years ago and acute tendonitis behind my left knee,its not ideal but with Sally's magic tape it's getting better!! I'm less worried about the training compared to the fundraising though !!!im at the £1300 mark so £700 to push.I will not be running a marathon again!!!!!i love running but jeeze,it's a painful sport where your always looking for the next challenge.my challenge after London is to stop running for a few weeks!!wont be easy!
Anyway,I'm back blogging again and all the training from now until 22nd of April should give me plenty to think and write about!like food!!i love food.x
