I've been training for this for 9 months now and if I'm honest I thought I'd feel more ready than I do! I've kept up with my training plan with my longest run to date being18.5 miles but I'm not finding the really long runs very easy. Another 8 miles feels pretty impossible right now but I'm determined that I'll give it my all and get across that finish line.

Thanks to all of your donations so far I'm already over my original target of £2000 but if you haven't done so yet then I'd love your help to see if I can make it to £3000!
