I'm sick of getting up at 5 in the morning, and turning down booze & 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 am on daily doses of Nurofen, and I'm spending too much money on specialty shoes.
All this has to be worth something!! As an extra motivation for me, I have decided to raise some money for this great charity whilst I run my lungs out 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 & opportunity to children and young people in India, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and increasing their enrollment & retention in schools (particularly for girls in rural areas).
For those travelling to Stockholm to see me run, no words can express my gratitude. I love you guys :) Bring on the 28th!
Love, Caren
