<p>Found out that I got a place to run for Macmillan at the end of last week and have managed to grind out my longest run of 6 (slow) miles so far (so only 20 to go!). Eek!!</p>
<p>8 miles planned for my 'long' run this week and feeling good. On a superficial level, really hoping my hair will be long enough by the marathon to feel comfortable running without a hat. But, more importantly, running gives you a lot of thinking time and I keep visualising running the last part of the marathon along Embankment. That makes me feel a bit emotional / tearful (fears about the cancer returning and thinking of others affected by cancer), which makes it difficult to breathe and still run - gotta get that under control or I'll never finish!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=398971&AppID=31469&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
