Torbay Half Marathon and Launceston 10 Mile
I've managed to sandwich a cheeky holiday in Greece in between the Torbay half marathon and the Lanceston 10 mile today. Had a lovely paddle yesterday. Next stop the World Medical Football Championship in Manchester in a few weeks....

Poole 10k (and some extra sponsorship)
Ran the Poole 10k last week in a decent(ish) time and have got the Torbay half marathon next weekend, which I assume will be hilly ):
Big thanks to UCB who have sponsored me £750 and to Wesleyan who have added another £100 Good stuff!......

Exeter Half Marathon
Training over the last month has NOT been going well :( due to one cold after another....
So now I'm on lots of vitamins and supplements that have no evidence base what-so-ever but will be part of my diet until August next year.
Due to the lack of training I struggled with the Exeter half marathon last weekend and posted my slowest ever half marathon time (it wasn't over 2 hours...)
Plymouth half marathon in 4 weeks - I promise I will do better!

Training
Training going fairly smoothly. Had a good run on Saturday and paddle on Sunday although the sea fog made reaching my intended target of Eddystone lighthouse impossible. Running the Poole Bay half marathon on Sunday.

Completed the Bideford half marathon on Sunday which was nice and flat and nice and sunny. Pretty tough last 2 miles though - need to step up the training! Next runs are the Plymouth 10k in a fortnight and the Poole Bay half marathon on Mother's Day.... T-shirts and running shirts have arrived and look great.
Bit quite on the corporate sponsorship front at the moment, lots of letters have been sent and am waiting for replies........
