Hi everyone!
Just a quick update...
The training is going well. I get out at least 4 times a week for about 45mins with a longer run (2:30hrs) or bike ride (4hrs) at the weekend. My longest run so far is 18 miles, but I hope to extend that next weekend, before winding down towards the 13th.
I'm worried about over-training and getting injured before the big day, so I try and vary what I do. Motivation isn't really a factor which is a real bonus, and I find now that I get pretty restless if I haven't put on the running shoes for a couple of days.
Last weekend I took part in the Hastings half marathon (see pic!) which I finished in a time of 1hr 37min 20sec.
Thanks to everyone who has already sponsored me - your donations are what this is all about.
For those who would still like to give - it really is very easy through this dedicated site.
If you are a UK taxpayer, you can increase your donation by a whopping 28%!!!
A lot of the money on the site has been collected the traditional way, then updated by me. Thank you to all at work who have supported me so generously (I just hope you all pay up!)
Thanks again for everyone's support. Best Wishes, Dan.
