A month to go!

A month to go and training is going well. This week I have been combining running and gym work to build up stamina. Mostly on the bike and some weights but with the amount of cardio I've been doing I don't expect to be building muscle any time soon!

I am hoping to do a 20 mile run this weekend which is going to put me in good stead for the big day and I hope to do two more of these before having a week off a with a week to go to get rid of any niggling injuries which always seem to spring up when you're running such distances

At least this week I haven't had to get up at 5.30am to pound the pavements, my training schedule has thankfully been a bit more normal.

I hope you have all read page 12 of the Barry & District this week which reports on my exploits @FFTDeli last Friday, an extremely successful day! I also received another boost to my fund raising this week with some monies from a cake sale in the contact center, my thanks to Eira Carroll for this, and some other extremely generous donations from friends and family.

To keep track of all my runs, please follow me on twitter @Ed_RNLI_Ldn2012.

Please see my sponsorship link here if you wish to donate to my London Marathon cause for the RNLI. I need to raise £2,300! All donations are gratefully accepted! Thank you for your support.
