Update

OK so after a hellish 2 weeks I have finally managed to get out of the house and run again (runs to be updated later) and completed a 6 mile and an 8 mile and plan more this week. Gonna give up my rest days in an attempt to catch up so expect pictures of blisters and tears!!

As for my stomach,I can finally eat again yippee! although the reflux murders me and running with a mouthful of bile is not fun. I have an appointment with the doc tomorrow to discuss our plan of action.

The mood surrounding marathon day is mixed. On one hand I am confident I can make it (even if it does take me 13 hours!) but on the other hand the lack of training has me seriously stressed. I also accidentally bought tickets for the Kooks not realising it was the evening of the marathon so as soon as I cross the finish line and assuming I'm still alive I have to speed home, shower and get to the train station to head for Dublin. I really hope I can make the gig, I've been waiting 2 years for these guys to come and it would be a major downer to miss them now. I'm using this as my motivation to complete the marathon in under 5 hours.

Fingers crossed!

Tip of the Day: Wear a proper sports bra if you're well-endowed like me...running with basketballs bouncing around under your shirt is not clever...you WILL get black eyes!
