So, this morning, I saw this and it scared me!

This is not as many days as I would like there to be between me and 13.1 miles of “running”
(yes it does need quotes…it will at best be run/walk intervals!)
It was bad enough in February when these arrived through the post…

I received a race number, timing chip and a t shirt with a lion on it…apparently I am in the pink section..this probably means I get to start at the back…which is only fair as I suspect I will finish at the back too…
All joking aside, I am moderately terrified about this run,Β I know I haven’t trained as hard as I could have done and I am not a natural runner. However, I am going to face this with a positive attitude, I will do it, I will do whatever intervals that I can do and I will finish it in as good a time as I can!
Whatever happens I will consider it an achievement and more importantly I will have raised money to help save bears!!
I am running to raise money for Hauser Bears, who do some amazing work saving endangered bears around the world.
Go have a look at their website and find out what they can do…
and if you fancy sponsoring me I would be grateful (if not I probably won’t be offended π ) go here:
I am so proud of you for taking this on. I can’t even imagine doing it myself…
Go Sam!!!

Honestly I still can’t imagine me doing it! But I have to be positive about it or I’ll never make it!

You’ll make it! Slow and steady. Whatever you do, don’t push so hard that you end up sick or injured!

I won’t, I promise! I intend to interval right from the start and if I need longer breaks later on then I will take them! I am just in it to finish! π

You should be excited! Race day is the highlight, the celebration of completing training (which is the hard part!)

Thank you π in a way I am, but I know I haven’t really done enough training!
