Time is nearing to the London Marathon (Sunday 17th April in case you have forgotten!) so what is better than signing up for a half marathon run a couple of months before?! That is exactly what I will be doing on Sunday 27th February. Ultrasport will be taking place a few miles away from the town so we will not have to travel far. I say 'we' because Diego (and possibly some other friends) will also be running. It is the first stage of a 7-part adventure involving a 20km run around the scenic area of Punto Claro which has a beautiful lake and a few hills! We were there (on our return from a rock festival) on Sunday as we had decided to stop off to enjoy a bbq - 'al disco'.

Training started again last night with a 8km run (45mins) followed by an hour spinning class. I took a week off as I had noticed some tension in my left achilles tendon so decided to give it a rest. Thankfully, I didn't feel anything last night so I think it is now ok. Sometimes the best cure is rest! I have realised that I run better when I have company as it gives me motivation as well as creating a pace to follow. I am still very excited about the whole adventure as running is a new challenge for me, however, here it is a normal form of activity to run and run and run. I guess it has a lot to do with the surroundings.
Thank you to those who have recently donated money towards my efforts!!! I am now half way there with the sponsorship of £1,500, however, I am still outstanding by approx. £750!!! There is still time! We can do it!!!!
