training update: ran 5 miles this morning. in 66 minutes.

and the tshirt we get for the run arrived in the post this morning. it's about the same blue as the link.

barring injury - i'm pretty certain we will be able to do it on the day.

thanks for the bumps, guys.

ran again this morning and as this is a bump message.... quite appropriate because i had a minor bump while running. going through one of those zigzag thingys along the river and caught my foot on the concrete at the bottom and went flying - no damage done. my hands hit the ground before the rest of me - so i'm ok. whew!!!!

only 13 days til the race - so any donations would be appreciated!!!!

i'm fine. great, in fact. ran this morning and we ran for 75 minutes and the mileage was 5.65 miles. so we are pleased with that. just two more practice runs next week and then the run.

seeing charleyfarley's thread of what were you doin 31 years ago.. reminded me of when i used to run about that time. it's about 30 years since i did my first 10k. i went on to do several and a couple of half marathons but from 1985 on, hadn't run at all til the 5k last year. i find it funny to think about my first 10k - my goals were a) to run the whole way (which i did), to finish (which i did), to not be last (which i wasn't) and to do it in under an hour (which i did). so a success from beginning to end. this time around my goals are simpler - to finish! and in an ideal world to do it in under 1 hr. 20 min. but we may not do that - so i'll settle for just finishing, which, as i said before - barring mishaps - we will.

 

i'd still like to get a few more sponsors - so if you could see your way clear to donate to jane tomlinson charities (cancer research and children's cancer charities) - please follow the link. and thanks.

ok, now we're cooking!

mazbck, there's no such thing as a small donation! every bit is appreciated as i know how much people are struggling (or they wouldn't be on this site in the first place). so thank you.

 

and babybear, i'm so grateful. no more scaring us with any medical problems, ok? i'm touched that you have helped me with this. thank you so much.

 

i take any donations very seriously and will do my very best on the day but have a good time as well.

 

i've found out that the guy running the race backwards is a real athlete so my goal of finishing before him looks like a non-starter. i'll be happy just to do it and remain standing!

I might be a wee bit late in donating but I said I would.

 

Its nearly 3 years since I lost my Dad to bladder Cancer, and Ive lost of female relatives to Breast Cancer too. Cancer charities and dermatology charities are the only ones I donate too when I can.

it's sunday, maz! i appreciate the thoughts and yes, it's too damn hot!

i'm busy hydrating with lucozade sport and counting out my corn plasters.

got my number, my timing chip, safety pins for the number, visor, sunscreen, sunglasses - btw has anyone else noticed the swarms of greenflies in the air or is it a hull problem?. i'm sure i've forgotten something, my race t-shirt, 3/4 jogpants, clean socks and undies! trainers at the ready. i think that's it. just taking it easy tomorrow and then it's race day. wish me luck!

thanks again.

you'd think we were running the sahara desert 100k the way everyone is going on about the warm weather. in my earlier running days i ran regularly in 80 degree los angeles smog - now that was a pain. but i will say the humidity is much higher here in hull. 70 here feels like 90 in LA.
