The London Marathon is less than two weeks away and I cannot believe how fast it has come around! The butterflies have begun that\u2019s for sure, but I guess being nervous shows how much I care about this. I have given training my all, it has already been the biggest challenge of my life, but I don\u2019t think I could have done any more so I\u2019m feeling ready! I\u2019m very excited to learn of the difference my fundraising has made, that has kept me going and will hopefully get me all the way to the finish line.<\/em><\/p>\n

Having only got a place 10 weeks ago, I\u2019m pretty proud of myself. If you had asked me a few months ago if you think I would have completed 20 miles just over 2 months later, I would have laughed. I have enjoyed seeing my fitness improve that\u2019s for sure (and the guilt free carbs!), I am just sorry to my poor knees. I underestimated the pain I would be in 2 weeks out, but it\u2019s now time to rest up ready for the big day!<\/em><\/p>\n
