I DID IT!!

13 Apr 08

Altitude Training!

03 Apr 08

Hi there, Apologies for the recent lack of posts - I have been insanely busy recently! It is a scary thought that the Marathon is just 9 days away now, although a part of me wants the race to just come - the waiting around is getting my nerves jangling already. I have eased off heavily [...]
