Thanks to all who donated - much appreciated! With £4£ at work I should end up with just under £1,100 so well chuffed with that ;) onward to the next half/full marathon methinks!!

(Possible) disaster has struck! Have managed to injure my calf with only 2 weeks til race day. Hopefully resting until near the actual day will sort me out but am unable to do any running training at the moment ... maybe some exercise bike time 🤔 fingers crossed!

Managed to get a couple of runs in while in Mittersill, including a nice steady 16km in some warm weather! Gotta step up those longer runs :)

10km PB in last couple of weeks and a nice steady 20.7km training run today. Few more of those and I reckon decent Half Mara time could be in the bag! ;)
