    My last 16 weeks London marathon 2010training for Heartrearch UK

    As some of know I'm running this years Virgin London Marathon for Heartresearch UK If you'd like to sponsor me you can do so by clicking HERE or my signature below.

    Now the Christmas break is over the hard last 16 weeks of training begins. Below is my training schedule that I started last week. This is just my running, in between the running day's I'll be throwing in a mixture of cross training, stair climbing and weight training. Each week I'll be posting my actual training, as it can vary due to weather. As you'll see this year I'm only running 3 times per week to hopefully avoid the injuries I sustained last year: -

      Wow you certainly are dedicated. Before i commit myself to sponsoring though I'd just like to ask you something.

      last year I sponsered you not only to run but to shave your legs too.

      What are you gonna do to top that this year??

              We ie the girls and probably some of the boys, would probably want some kind of video evidence of it being done though cause we want to hear you scream like a big girl

              Are we talking about just the legs??

                  ok.....i'll have to think about this.....hows about a sponsored chest & back wax for a set level of sponsorship? If the set level is reached you can all hear me screaming like a girl and believe you me when you see the amount of hair on my chest I WILL be screaming like a girl!

                          Last year I raised approx ?1950.00.

                          So far this year I've raised ?1085 with approx 15 weeks to go.

                          Regards, the sponsored waxing I'd say if we can raise say a further ?250.00 I'll go for it

                          I'd have to start a thread for it so we could log the donations for the waxing and I suppose it could be done accross other forums too.

                                      you could always just ask them to put a comment on your sponser page to say something like "I want you waxed" or I'm donating extra cause I want to hear you scream like a big girl when that wax strip gets ripped off"

                                              Time for another update.

                                              Important thing first, fund-raising is up-to ?1335.00, which I'm happy to reached so far because of the current financial climate. I always knew it would be hard to raise funds this year. So all donations are very much appreciated even if its the minimum ?2.00 donation at justgiving.

                                              Right now back to my training.

                                              I've been managing to keep up with my running program even with this horrible cold weather we've been having. I've stopped weight training my legs to keep them fresh for my long weekend run & upper body weight's been cut down to once or twice a week. Trying to keep myself fresh for running.

                                              So far so good, everything on track and not picked up any serious aches & pains like I had this time last year.

                                              Please keep donations coming and thank you for all the support / donations so far.
