12 weeks to go....

So me and my new tights have started clocking up the miles over the last 2 weeks. Today I was up at 7.30am and I did just over 10k with a snotty nose and a slight limp. I need to hit 10 miles by next Sunday to stay on track for my training plan and I'm planning on doing the Sunday long run with the running club to give me the best chance. It is quite a big jump from 6.5 miles to 10 in just a week, but against all the odds today I still managed to run in the wind while not feeling well, so who knows how 10 miles will go surrounded by other runners.

I also have some new gels for long distance running. As I'm closing in on an hour and a half of running a session, they will be there for those lengthy runs as it gets closer to the date. I also have new running socks, vitamins and some knee support thing as my knee's hurting and giant strawbs as 1 of my 5-a-day! Grapes have replaced the satsumas...

Fundraising is going pretty well, I've got £792.50 in donations including gift aid and it's amazing that I've had donations from so many people, some who barely know me or don't know me at all!

The curry night fundraiser is booked!!!! Everyone is welcome to come, bring your family, friends colleagues and pets, it's on Thursday 29th March (the night before bank holiday Friday) at the Tandoori Parlour in Thundersley and will be £12 each for an all-you-can-eat buffet. I know it's a bit of a trek but it's the biggest venue with a separate bar and gave me the best price for a charity night. There's gunna be a raffle, bonus ball game and other games fun fun fun with loads of chances to win some great prizes...who knows what else ;) So far 60 of you have said you'll come and I'm really grateful to everyone, you won't be disappointed! I hope you are all looking forward to it as much as I am! We are getting together some incredible prizes so if anyone has any ideas or gifts to put forward for the night, or knows of any companies that might be willing to donate something, let me know even if it's just an unwanted xmas present.

Alternatively you can just donate to my page, the links below, every pound helps and you're doing an incredible thing in supporting me.

Thank you to everyone that supports me, I couldn't do it without you all :) 12 weeks to go, a few grapes to be eaten, and £1207.50 left to raise!
