Six months today exactly I'll be running a marathon and it feels like I have a long way to go! However, I can now run 10 miles relatively comfortably so I've come a long way from where I was a few months ago. It's getting serious now with me doing research into the best gels to use to sustain me on long runs.

Oh, I guess that I should mention the half marathon a couple of weeks ago.... essentially it was pretty hot and I found it very hard. I had to work/run the last three miles and wasn't very happy. But that is not the end goal, so I've picked myself up and am focusing back on the marathon next year although I'll probably fit in another half marathon race before then.

Thanks again for all the donations so far, you are ALL amazing!!!
