355 days to go!

Yesterday was the day of the London Marathon, which I should have been running if it weren't for an pesky injury. It was also the first time that I've been to watch the whole race and after racing around (not literally) to see the start and then various points along the way (Greenwich, Westferry, Embankment), I was exhausted!

It was great to go and see where I'll be lining up next year and get some good practical advice on the course from JT. What a difference between the happy and excited runners at Greenwich (6 miles) and the tired and sore runners along the Embankment (24-25 miles)! I kind of wish that I'd only seen Greenwich and then I could fool myself that it was smiles and laughter for the whole 26.2 miles ...

I came back full of inspirations and with some recommendations from other people from the running club about which physio to try for some more specialist running advice than my former physio could offer. I now have a year to raise the remaining £1300 towards my target and no excuse for reaching - if not exceeding - it! It's our second karaoke night today, which should kick off the next phase of my fundraising nicely :-)
