Week 9 of 16 training update

Now over halfway through my London Marathon training plan.

Tonight, it rained! I love running in the rain but squelching trainers and shorts isn't so much fun!

It doesn't rain in London in October does it?

Thank you everyone.   If you're considering giving to charity over the next week or two, please help me over the £1500 mark by choosing one of mine via the link below to donate. Update: I've just been looking at the total number of miles I've run and since training began in June, it's over 280 miles and 169 of those since 1st August! There's 9 days left until London Marathon day on Sunday 3rd October, by then my training will have taken me over 300 miles (and closer to 200 since 1st August). Just 3 more runs until then so please take a look at my chosen charities and help me reach £1500. https://keepcraigrunning.blogspot.com/2021/02/keep-craig-running-announcement.html

I really didn't think I stood a chance of getting in.  So, on Sunday 3rd October, 2021 I'll be one of the 50,000 participants running from Blackheath to The Mall (that's not far is it?). Now that I've stopped laughing:   And the shock is over, reality is sinking in. So today I developed my training plans and decided on the most important bit to help spur me on: Which charities to raise funds for.   There's so many to chose from and I've gone for f...

Here we go! Negative lateral flow test? Check! Kit ready? Check! 2 more nights of pasta-based meals? Check and check again! Excited more than nervous and cannot wait! If you want to track me throughout Sunday's London Marathon see my previous post to download the app. If you're in London and can let me know which mile you're at, DM me before Sunday with your mobile number if I'm unlikely to have it, I'll send you mine and text me where you are on the day and I'll look/listen out for you and try and give you a wave! Your text should show on my watch.
