I love my new toy!

I am all about this Garmin! I went out for a gorgeous run today in the sunshine- only an easy 20 mins as the training dictates that I have a lighter week this week. It's so great to get back and see exactly what I did, and also it gives me the freedom to run wherever the hell I want, as I know the Garmin is picking it all up.

The marathon is getting extremely close now, and next week is my last week of full training before I have to start tapering. Scary stuff, but now I'm more excited than anything.

It's just a short post today, but I just wanted to update and let you know that I am still working hard!

Wow, what have I been doing?

Wow, I didn't realise that it had been so long since I added to this! I have been busy training, studying and fundraising. The fundraising side of things has become very exciting, as I have organised a gig with some friends of mine for the week after the marathon, which will be great fun! There's alot to do for it though, so I will post further details on here soon!
I've also been bought a Garmin! I'm very excited and am about to take it out for its first run. This is a late birthday pressie, and I reckon it's really going to help me in the marathon, as I'll know whether I'm running at the right pace or not, which is quite hard to figure out on your own when you're surrounded by hundreds of other runners. Studies have shown that even inaccurate readings on GPS watches improve race performances, so it can't be bad! I will update later on today.

That's it from me for now, I'm off to take my new toy for a 16 mile jaunt!
