So what do I count down to. The approximate 6 weeks to the first of my 16 runs at Silverstone or the 8 months until the last one at Birmingham? When I started my training back in November I had a simple plan. I had to run a minimum of 3 miles whenever I went out. In December this changed to 4 miles and now my minimum distance is 5 miles. I may increase this to 6 but won't make it any more than that. My long run is now upto 11 miles and I am confident of running a half marathon with little trouble. I never quite believed that I'd get to a day that I could say that, but training hard, watching what I eat have really made a massive difference. And I hope that the more money I raise the bigger the difference I can make to the lives of people affected by cancer. At some point I would like to meet people that Macmillans have helped, to meet the nurses who work so hard for them and the volunteers that help this charity achieve so much.
