Well what a day it was. Both Tasha and I ran the half marathon in record times and beat the times we had originally set ourselves through all our training. I am soo very proud of both of us and want to say a huge thank you to my dearest friend Tasha who asked me to do this incredible event. I love you very much Tasha. . . .So whats next you ask? well I have applied to take part in the Brighton Marathon next April and Tasha has applied for a trialthon - so what this space! :) xx

Only days away!!

So nearly all the training is done! I feel quietly confident about Sunday although a little nervous. I was running a little slower today and struggling with the route I had chosen and then I asked myself why am I doing this!? And that is a very simple question for my Mummy. Just a single thought of her and my whole run changed. I was more driven, determined and finished my run in a good time! So if I struggle this Sunday my thoughts will be on her and how I am trying to raise money for such a wonderful person and a fantastic organisation that is St.Barnabas Hospice. :)

Running so far . . . . .

Well as it goes the training is going well. Although the weather seems to have turned a little and i'm getting caught in the rain alot more than before. I can't speak for Tasha but I'm sure its the same for her. The miles seem to be adding up nicely and what with the race only two weeks away I'm starting to feel that the goal is in sight. Speak soon xxx Emma
