Hello lovely peeps!
Pretty much as the title of my post says! I now have only 2 1/2 weeks to the London Marathon and I can't believe it's come around quite so fast!!! :eek:
I've gone from not running at all 4 months ago to intending to complete the LM on 26th April on a run/walk strategy of 4 minutes run, 1 minutes walk. I thought I'd let you know in case anyone would like to help me out with my fundraising but also to let you know that it can be done!! the marathon is something I've always thought about doing but never in a million years thought I would, and now I'll be lining up with 30,000 other people for possibly the most intensive, knackering and exhilerating 6 hours of my life so far!
I'm running as part of my works charity team and they will match whatever I raise - we're a team of 21 so potentially more than £40,000 to be had from our sponsorship! All the money gets split between our six supported charities which include Marie Curie and Childline.
Justgiving site is www.justgiving.com/karensmarathon2009 if anyone would like to contribute, if not keep an eye out for me on the telly - I'll be the one finishing in the dark!! :rotfl:only kidding
honest..........:p
