Back to the training this week as I have now had nearly two weeks off from running. If you are a regular reader of the blog then you'll know I took a week out to give me legs some time to recover, however this proved to be mis-timed because the following week I caught a chest infection which stopped me from training altogether.
This week I am now back fit and healthy so am now going to step up the training to take it to the next level!
I have worked out that I now have just over six weeks to get myself in tip top shape before the marathon.
I have already run 17/18 miles on a couple of occasions and would now like to hit the full distance (or close to it) to make sure that I will be able to complete to course on the big day, therefore over the next few weeks I hope to get a least three 20+ mile runs in.
Keep an eye on my twitter feeds @Ed_RNLI_Ldn2012 as I hope to bring some new routes and these will show on here with links to mapmyrun.com for you to check them out.
My fundraising efforts also need to step up as I still need to raise around £1,300 of my £2,300 total. Last week we organised a cake sale in work which raised £88.50. Thank you to everyone who supported the day and bought a cake, with special thanks going to Louise Llewellyn-Jones and Luke Collard who helped organise the event and to my Mum, Louise and Tracey Lewis who also baked cakes for the day!

Next week I am working Friday lunchtime in the Deli on High Street, Barry to help raise awareness and collect some money. Come and buy a sandwich, make a donation, and watch me struggle to make the rolls! I'll be like a fish out of water and am sure I'll be in for some wind ups from the Deli crew.
