My story

 

5th October

Well its all over now, finished in 4hrs 34 minutes!  So glad its over and Im sure once the sore legs and feet have subsided I will be able to say that I enjoyed it. Once again thank you to all of those who sponsored me it certainly helped me get round the 26.2miles.  Rest assured that I wont be bothering you again!!!!

1st October

Only three days to the big one now! Eleanor summed it up beautifully -"its like sitting an exam that you havent studied for!!"  Apparently its normal to feel that way so hey-ho it'll be grand on the day.  Hopefully the weather will be kind to us! Wish us luck x

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

I said I wanted to do a marathon before I turn 40 (just under 2 years to go!) and after a few too many with my friend Eleanor, we signed ourselves up to do Loch Ness. Eleanor is running on behalf of Highland Hospice, check out her page www.justgiving.com/eleanor-mair  The training is going well I think, I've even stopped drinking alcohol in preparation. No more cheeky gins on a Thursday, and no curry on a Friday!! I'm raising money for Volunteering Highland, check out their website; there is way more to them as an organisation than I could have imagined and they do an immense amount of good for the local area. So any amount that you can donate would be very much appreciated and I promise to keep you up to date on the training and more importantly the big day itself, only 1 sleeps! 

Thank you,

Amanda

Feels really strange not going for a long run.  Cant wait for the day itself now!

15th Sep 2009

Taper time!!!!  No more long runs until the big day, feels great to say that! Just keeping things ticking over now and looking forward to Oct 4th.  Thank you once again for your donations, they will make a big difference.
