I'm aiming to run 28miles in total this week. Need to start upping the mileage every week. Surely that's worth a pound or two?

11 miles done today, 23 miles this week in total, 25 miles next week, then more the week after! Starting to get serious! That's got to be worth a pound or two for a great charity! Please spare what you can, thank you xxx

Training is going well. I have worked out that by marathon day I will have ran for roughly 72 1/2 hours and approx 700 miles. Surely that's worth a pound or two?
