Today its exactly one month to go until the London Marathon – eek!  Sponsorship is going quite well, and I’m over the £1000 mark now with the next target to be £1500 but I’m hoping that I’ll get closer to £2000!  Various people have said that they will sponsor me but haven’t yet so I’m still hopeful 🙂

The biggest problem now though is various interruptions to my planning training regime – all very frustrating.  In recent weeks I’ve had niggles, wisdom tooth removed, bad cold, and now I’m off to Taiwan for a week!  It means that my training plan has become a bit hit & miss just at a time when I needed to get my longest walks in and keep my stamina up.

All of the above means that I’m only going to do one ‘longest’ walk )should be 7.25 hours which is about 45 mins less than I’m expecting to take on the day) rather than 2 and I’ll be missing stamina training (not expecting any opportunities to do training in Taiwan) at a time when I really can’t afford to miss anything.  All in all it makes me a bit worried about finishing the marathon, but I’m determined not to drop out at this stage.  I guess the worst that will happen on the day is that I keep on stopping so it takes me a lot longer than I thought it would, but I WILL FINISH!!
