It's nearly marathon time

In 1 week, I'll have run my first ever marathon.  Should I be excited? Because I'm not! I can safely say this will be a once in a lifetime experience!


On Wednesday, I fly out to Sierra Leone.  My running total raised for Oxford Transplant Foundation currently stands at £655.  A massive thank you to everybody who's sponsored me.  It's tough going and my body's starting to dislike me with a painful niggle in my left knee.  I'm not sure 2 weeks rest is perfect preparation but it is what it is! So here's an update of my running total, 3 weeks to update you on...


Week 1
Run 1: 9,960m down through Rotherhithe.
Run 2: 13,120m exploring through Rotherhithe again. 
Run 3: 7,250m to the pub in Canary Wharf


Week 2
Run 1: 9,650m down to Westminster bridge and back.
Run 2: 9,300m doing the same Westminster bridge run again


Week 3
Run 1: 5,930m down to Blackfriars bridge
Run 2: 9,620m down to Westminster bridge
Run 3: 19,510m, the knee destroying run along the seafront down to Sandbanks.


Running Total: 700,810m
