Training almost done. I did my last 10k on Sunday in a PB time of 56 mins dead. Tonight I did a 5k in 27m 15s. Thursday, it"ll be just a gentle 3k or so just to keep loose and we"re ready for Saturday! Whoda thunk it?
Echoing what Dawn said, please try to find a few bob to help Macmillan carry on with the great work they do for cancer sufferers. No worries if you can"t, the residents of Jaxie Towers understand times are tough. We haven"t been able to afford to contribute much to other causes around the place.

In other news, does anyone know of a good tattoo artist in the Leicester/Notts area? Bar a miracle, Jack is going to crush me this week-end, so I"ll need to get moving on that video we promised ye. lol

I really enjoyed it!
It didn"t go to plan exactly, but not in a bad way. I started right at the back of my "wave" and was forced to go slower than I wanted for the first kilometre or so. The terrain map on the website led me to believe it was all uphill for the first half AND tougher than my training runs had been, so I carried on taking my time to make sure I kept a bit in reserve. It turns out it was a fair bit easier than I"d been used to and I hardly noticed any upward trend. Anyway I felt great at 5km and picked the pace up overtaking around 20 people in the second 5km. So my time was a bit disappointing at 1hr 0m 36s. A good day however. Best of all, so far we"ve raised nearly £700 for Macmillan Cancer Support. If you want to chip in with a few bob more, apparently the page will take donations for another three months. Thanks to the generous souls that already raided their piggy banks - it"s very much appreciated!
