They seemed desperate for support and I think some of the smaller charities don't always get the support they deserve simply because they can't afford the advertising costs. WIll be setting up a justgiving account soon. <br /> <br />My sister will be running with me which is a tad scary as she's a million times fitter but I'll really appreciate the support especially around mile 23!!! <br /> <br />Have lost 4lbs since Monday. Aiming to reach my 5 stone off mark by the end of January. <br /> <br />Getting a little worried about lack of training but its better to be out for a few weeks than for the rest of my training. Frustrating though! <br /> <br />Laura<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10085576-110563006349809113?l=loseitlaura.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05679006369384950497noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10085576.post-1105447667916816502005-01-11T04:29:00.000-08:002005-01-11T04:47:47.916-08:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204); font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">PLEASE SPONSOR ME</span> <a href="http://www.justgiving.com/loseitlaura">www.justgiving.com/loseitlaura</a></span> <br /></div> <br />This still doesn't feel real but yes in 3 months time I will be running the Flora London Marathon for Cancer Research UK. I am in no uncertain terms <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">BRICKING IT</span>!! <br /> <br />I have been steadily losing weight over the last year and currently stand at the <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">4 stones lost</span>. I was originally a size 20/22 and am now in a 16. I feel great but know that if I <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">lose another 2 stone</span> before the race it'll make things a whole lot easier for me. <br /> <br />Unfortunately, I am <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">injured</span> and haven't been able to run for 7 agonising days. I feel guilty for not exercising and stupid for not listening to other runners advice and increasing my mileage too quickly. Will be out of action for another 5 days at least. <br /> <br />I get most of my advice and motivation from the <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Runner's World</span> magazine / website. Its an excellent resource. Last weekend I went on a Runner's World Marathon Training Weekend. Although I wasn't able to run the advice was excellent. <br /> <br />I am on the second day of a 3 week <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">detox diet</span>. Have to lose 1 stone by the end of January and will then need to lose another stone before the marathon. Have lost 2lbs so far. <br /> <br />Laura <br /> <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204); font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">PLEASE SPONSOR ME</span> <a href="http://www.justgiving.com/loseitlaura">www.justgiving.com/loseitlaura</a></span></div> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10085576-110544766791681650?l=loseitlaura.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05679006369384950497noreply@blogger.com6
