Winding down to the BIG DAY

Not much to say on the running front over these last few weeks but I have managed one or two runs which has been updated via my Twitter account @Ed_RNLI_Ldn2012.

Just keeping my body ready for the grueling test on Sunday!

This week is all about the diet now and loading up on carbs to give me the energy to get through the run.

I have been shopping in Tesco and expect to have a lot of pasta, potatoes and chicken over the next few days including a spaghetti bolognaise on Friday! I just have to promise Laura that I won't make it too hot with the chillies!

I hope I can cap a great few weekends after last weekend my team, Sully Sports, claimed the league and cup double by winning the South Wales Senior League and FAW Trophy in the same week!

To win the league we had gone on a 19 game winning run which propelled us to the top of the table and with results going our way were crowned champions last Wednesday.

This was a timely boost before Saturday's FAW trophy final in which we defeated Holyhead Hotspur, a side two tiers up from us in the Welsh pyramid system, 2-1 to claim a fantastic result in this all Wales amateur cup.

Read about our achievement on the FAW website http://www.faw.org.uk/news/FAW84476.ink?newstype=d. You can also see some pictures of the winning dressing room and the cup on our timeline on Twitter.

Make no mistake this was a massive achievement for our club and we can only thank all of the traveling supporters, families and club officials who made the day such a special one.

So it's not much from me this week but I hope to bring you my blog next week, when I give you the news I have completed one of my lifetime ambitions on another enjoyable day.
