Tuesday 15th December

I pursuade myself to face running after a two week break, its freezing, I've had a bad day and the last thing I want to do is run. I am looking for any excuse not to and realise I can't go as I have no hair band. Pathetic, how on earth will I pursuade myself to do 26 miles???!!!

I go anyway and make it round the park twice thats 3.2 miles! Am proud of myself as I didn't think I would manage a mile after 2 weeks off.

I now face the week ahead full of Xmas parties and no time to run, what am I to do, I definitely need some inspiration. I need to remember why it is I am doing the marathon as sometimes I question why, I remember the feeling I had from finishing the GNR2007, mind blowing, on top of the world, then I think of the charity I have just been to see "MK SNAP" who I am running for. Fantastic organisation, watching the less fortunate people there getting on with their daily working lives , trying to make a living. Their faces light up when they hear someone is running a marathon for them to help make their lives better, I think they thought we were famous or something. It helps to know that I could be making a huge difference to someone elses life, it makes you not take your own life for granted sometimes. However I can only make a difference form sponsorship and if you are reading this then you should ask yourself why, are you just being nosey or are you an interested runner? Either way you should make a donation to my justgiving, the link is on this homepage.
