In one week’s time I will be hurting (a lot)
With luck I will have completed the ING New York City Marathon – all 26.2 miles of it in aid of Asthma UK
I now have my running number 42769 and know that I will be starting in the Green channel in the second wave which starts at 10.10am on Sunday 6th November
So far I have run an amazing 500 miles in training – a bit like running from Bath to Aberdeen (no wonder people think I am mad…). Today saw my last long run, completing 6.5 miles in exactly one hour. It felt pretty good – which is encouraging. The build up is getting very exciting and I’m really looking forward to it.
Support is coming in thick and fast with my total standing at £736 so far – with your help I would love to reach £2,000 so please dig deep. Thank you.
