<p>I'm sick of getting up at 5 in the morning, and turning down booze &amp; writing my Saturdays off for the long runs. I can't wait to have my meals without having to check the G.I. chart. I'm in all sorts of pain now. I have shin splits, and 2 of my toenails look like they won't make it past the month. I&nbsp;am on&nbsp;daily doses of Nurofen, and I'm spending too much money on specialty shoes.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>All this has to be worth something!! As an extra motivation for me,&nbsp;I have decided&nbsp;to raise some money for this great charity whilst I run my lungs out&nbsp;in the Stockholm Marathon on May 28th. I don't have a target (typical me), but every little helps. You will be donating towards providing education &amp; opportunity to children and young people in India, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and increasing their enrollment &amp; retention in schools (particularly for girls in rural areas).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>For those travelling to Stockholm to see me run, no words can express my gratitude. I love you&nbsp;guys :) Bring on the 28th!</p> <p>Love, Caren</p>
