Just 6 weeks to go!

Training has been going well and today (Sunday 22/8/21) I ran my furthest distance: 16.2 miles. Psychologically, I now know all I need is to add 10 miles to complete the Marathon distance.

You've really kept me going...

Thank you to all those who have sponsored me so far (listed below). 

You don't know how close I came to packing it in a few months ago following an injury in April but knowing I'd then almost reached £1000, I just had to keep going.  

So alongside seeing a Physiotherapist, daily exercising and stretching and progressing my 4 months training plan I'm now almost ready.

If you still want to sponsor me I'd love that!  Thank you in advance - here's the options through an earlier blog post: https://keepcraigrunning.blogspot.com/2021/02/keep-craig-running-announcement.html

The 'journey' this month...

For those who want to see progress over the last month, here's a snapshot or two:

This felt like it was getting serious.

Then I managed a half marathon distance

  

With 16.2 miles today at the end of week 11 of 16.

I'm still just about smiling :-)
I had just removed my trainers so I think it was the relief!

Of course, we haven't had the driest of Augusts - this was a few weeks back after being caught in a torrential downpour!

The scores on the doors..

Thank you again, I'm now almost at £1100 and I am really touched by people's generosity and support.
