My story
Friday the 13th of April 2012 (1 week to go)

Saturday Mar 17th 2012 (5 weeks to go)
Just back from my weekly long run which today was 16.87 miles. I feel rather good after being out for 2h.58m which is a avg pace of 10.30. A bit slow so hopefully will be picking up the pace next week.
Sunday Mar 9th 2012 (6 Weeks to go)
First Half Marathon race completed in the hilly New forest, in 2h.33 Really pleased to hit 60% of my target.
Sunday Feb 4th 2012 (12week to go)
Today was see how long I can run so managed 13miles in 2h.14m so all looking good with 12 weeks to go.
The reason why I am putting myself though all this pain. Its always been a dream of mine to run it after watching nearly every year sinse I can remember. So 2012 is my year to run the 26.2 miles and take in the London sights. I have been trying to get into London for 4 years and finally got a ballent place. Its also on things to do before im 30 list. (which is 26 days after)
I am running this event to raise money and awareness for the charity 'Greenfingers'. And keeping in the theme I am running the 26miles dress as a Dragonfly.
Please Donate to help me get to my target so Greenfingers can make unwell Childrens stay in hospice's a better experience.
You can now text LOUU82 followed by £1 , £2 , £3 , £4 , £5 , or £10 to 70070. To help me get to my Target. As TESCO would say every little helps!!!
Thanks
More information about the Charity: www.greenfingerscharity.org.uk
Greenfingers is a small national charity dedicated to creating magical gardens for children’s hospices around the UK to support children with life limiting conditions, together with their families. Greenfingers has to date created 33 special gardens in hospices around the country, and has a further waiting list of hospices that need our help.
Naomi House: Quiet Garden - Winchester
This children's hospice in the grounds of the adult hospice needed its own area for reflection and remembrance. Greenfingers was initially invited by Brian Smith of Woodlea Nurseries (strong supporters of Naomi House) to become involved. With a water feature, paved seating area and with a stunning wooden screen
The garden was designed by Beth Munro and Green Landscapes undertook the landscaping. By creating a water feature, a paved sitting area and an arbour seat, all surrounding a central gravelled area, has created a garden with a calm and peaceful atmosphere that was warmly welcomed by all concerned. Now the hospice has the Quiet Garden it always needed.
