It's less than two weeks until I take part in the Windsor Half Marathon as part of my build up to the full marathon next year. Am I ready? If I'm honest, I'm not sure. I'm trying hard (see the photo of me below after running 6 miles in the rain - don't be fooled by the blue sky) and I followed my training plan even while I was on holiday in Sicily. I even ran 10miles this morning before work but the last 2 miles felt like hard work and I can't imagine running another three let alone another 16 next year!

I'm sure my competitive nature and support from others will get me through the half marathon but if I struggle I'll remind myself why I'm doing this. I'm doing it because you amazing people are sponsoring me and I'm almost halfway to my goal of £2000. Thank you so much!!
