I find that keeping as active as possible helps me to cope both mentally and physically (but then I would say that I suppose as I used to be a fitness trainer, and may well be again!). If I can offer any advice it is to do whatever you can - even if it's just mobility exercises or stretching / flexibility. Walking is great if you can get out. Even if it's a short distance - anything counts! Call on any friends to support you and do it with you. I can offer virtual support if you need it!
The marathon training continues, 8 miles at the w/e and 4 today. Gonna try a different strategy tomorrow by run/walking 10 miles, i.e. for each mile completed walk for 60 secs and see how it fares compared to running it all.
20 miles planned later in the week (last long run before the marathon itself).
Fundraising going great guns, really pleased with the support.
Hair update - it's very, very short but I am now going public! Yippee! A few sideways glances, but I don't care!
