Final monies raised: £2,350




Thank you all, between us we've raised £2,350 across Alzheimer's Society (£1,121), Comic Relief (£100), Telford Mind (£376), Turn2Us (£441) and Shropshire Wildlife Trust (£312).

All money is now banked and with the above charities 😁

4 weeks on I'm still tender around my knee joint and hoping a bit of physio will fix that.  Will I do a Marathon again?  Well, never say never!

Whichever charity you decide on, thank you! Craig x

2 weeks to go until The London Marathon

All my long training runs are completed and I'm now on 'taper' to ensure tip-top fitness on Sunday 3rd October. Over the last 5-6 weeks I've gradually increased my long-distance weekend runs: 8/8/21 - 11 miles 14/8/21 - 13.1 miles 22/8/21 - 16.2 miles 29/8/21 - 17.3 miles 3/9/21 - 19.2 miles 12/9/21 - 20.5 miles Wow, that's over 97 miles!  In addition, running twice a week on average 5 miles each time that's more than my brain can calculate! During the preparations for 3rd October you've all been keeping me going raising money for good causes: So, thank you all.  At times I've felt like giving up but this has definitely kept me going through groin injuries, knee injuries, Physio & Osteo sessions and the early morning weekend starts (not to mention refraining from Gin the night before!). There's still time to 'KeepCraigRunning' so see my first post on why I chose these charities and how to donate:  https://keepcraigrunning.blogspot.com/202
