Just a quick blog update today, but just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone that has been in touch with support, sponsorship, facebook page likes, stories and advice to help me on the way.
I'm going to be doing a longer blog in a couple of days, as on the 1st of November, it will be three months since Isaac died, and I think it is about time I told Isaac's story in full so please look out for that blog - will want to try and get that page shared as many times as possible to get Isaac's story across and show everyone exactly why I am running the London Marathon in his memory.
It's been an interesting couple of weeks, the facebook page "likes" have increased considerably, the twitter followers have gone up as well and have received some lovely messages of support. As I've said on the facebook page, we have our first paralympian following Isaac's story, and our first celeb, and as I've been preparing to write this tonight, Donna Air has retweeted the charity link and in doing so all her followers if they choose can now click on a link to access the charity fundraising page.
I've also had to return to work which has been incredibly difficult, but have to say, everyone I work with has been fantastic and made it as easy as possible under the circumstances to return. I think it probably helped that so many from work came along to Isaac's funeral which, although the day was a total blur for Simone and I, an amazing number of people came along to show their support and celebrate Isaac's short life.
As for training, well the last couple of weeks have been all about getting into a routine to make sure I try and get 5 runs in a week. Its been hampered a little bit by a tight calf which I have tried to counteract by running a little slower, missing one run in the two weeks and doing a half hour walk as one of the runs in week 2. Yesterday saw my longest run so far, running for an hour and 5 minutes and covering 5.2 miles, and with 25 weeks to go, Im really pleased with how its going so far.
With the nights now drawing in, its time to get the winter hi vis kit out and scare a few in wood green with the runs - still its probably scarey enough for people not to consider mugging me for the iphone which is always a bonus!
So, below are the micoach links for the training for week 2 and 3.
