I have been well and truly bitten by the marathon bug. Off to Dublin in October to do another one.

Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust (Jo’s Trust) is the only UK charity dedicated to women and their families affected by cervical cancer and cervical abnormalities. They were amazing support for Jen during her struggle and are still supporting Tony, her husband, since her death. I am Running for Jen and raising funds for Jo's Trust to try to help them continue to give support to families of those affected by cervical cancer. Help me by donating at www.justgiving.com/forJen

So I am now on the taper for London Marathon on Sunday. I have been checked out by the doctor and am running fit. I have followed the Run Lounge 16 week plan almost to the letter and am therefore feeling much more prepared than the last time I took on this marathon challenge.
Tomorrow I shall be going up to the Marathon Expo to collect my running number which is 9176 and get some last minute tips from the experts.
Thanks to all who have donated to Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust. If you haven't, but want to www.virginmoneygiving.com/runningforjen is where you need to go.
Watch out for me on the TV coverage as I shall do my best to get in front of a camera sporting my usual pink hair and Running Funky uniquely colorful activewear tights.
