Stepping up

It's been a while again since I last wrote on here, but the fundraising has been going extremely well. Mind had set a target of 50% of the sponsorship to be raised 1 month before the race, and I'm pleased to say I was at £170 of the £300 on the 31st of August :) Since then, the total has again risen to £200, so I'm hoping to smash the total!

After a surprisingly training-free week in Paris (I went with the best of intentions, but events conspired against me - looking back I could have left my running stuff here, which would have saved me a bit of weight in my case!), I'm back on the case, and looking at stepping up the training in the last few weeks before the Great North Run. Time to drink a bit less and run a bit more :)/:( It'll all help to shed a few pounds too, needless to say I'm not at 'racing weight' yet!

A few weeks of blood, sweat and tears to go, and then it's the big day. I'm unsure yet exactly where the route of the run goes, though will be looking into this soon, so I can be mentally prepared for the race. Unfortunately, these will not be roads that I am used to, unlike the Leeds 1/2, so it's a bit harder to think your way around the route!
