Hey everyone! Right, update time. So it's not good news I'm afraid. Consultant rang me Friday and thinks the MRI MIGHT show an early stage stress fracture... but it MIGHT not be!! Very frustrating to be in a not knowing situation. But, the long or short of it is I've been advised to do no running for another 4 weeks, then go for a light jog and go from there.- maybe reMRI, maybe injection. Which has lead me to make the difficult decision of postponing my challenge.

It's been a very difficult decision to make; I've been going crazy actually; back and forth in my mind and after all the effort I've put in over the past few months all I want to do is get across the finish line.

BUT, at the same what I cannot do is get to the start line and not be able to give this my best; and with just 5 weeks to go and having not ran for a month, I'm scared I will fall at the first hurdle. And that won't be fair to the companies that are donating to me for sponsorship, MediaPort who are ready to print loads of posters and T-shirts for me, and everyone of you who have donated so far and who were hopefully going to come and run with me to raise awareness for Florence Nightingale. If it was just about me running, I could give it a go. But I can't get 10 miles in on day 1 and give up because I'm in too much pain. That's the outcome I really fear at the minute.

So although it seems I've bitten off a bit more than my body can chew this time around, can you all please stick with me? THIS WILL HAPPEN. But it will be next year now I think. Maybe shortly after London Marathon so I can encourage more people to get in to running and come join me... I need to put it back far enough so that I can be sure I am ready this time and so I can confidently build the event up to be hopefully big enough to do the cause some justice.

I'm gutted at the minute quite frankly; but I know this is the right thing to do right now and I will come back stronger and make sure I make the most of my idea.

Please stick with me everyone and watch this space! I will be back and I'll be posting again soon!

Wow, honestly, thank you, someone has just made a £100 donation. Thank you so much whoever you are. And just as big a thank you to Sue sparks and the other anonymous donations that have come in. Your support during this quite tough patch is really a massive boost to me. Thank you X (Did I remember to say thank you!? 😁🤗)

Hey everyone! Think it's time I give you all a bit of an update; I still haven't ran with my hip problem. Been keeping my fitness up with a LOT of cycling and it's been tough! 4 am starts, 3-4 hour cycles to get my body ready for the hours the marathons are going to take. We were hopeful it was a hip flexor strain but it is now starting to look less likely. We are not sure yet, and I'm hopeful it isn't, but there is mention of a stress fracture in my hip. It's been really really hard to hear that as a possibility, and it's left me feeling a bit lost as to what my options could be. But I have to wait and see- I'm hoping to get an MRI which will clarify things either next week or possibly the week after. Ideally I wanted posters out on every street and I wanted to be pushing this as much as possible now with updates on routes and sponsors etc etc, but I am having to put that on hold until I know what's what. My fingers are crossed. I hope I can run when planned, this has taken it out of me and I want to see it through. Maybe I have to delay it, I don't know. Once we know what we are dealing with I will let everyone know what's what. Until then I am just putting my head down and focusing on keeping my fitness up on the bike and hoping. Please keep an eye out for updates, and with any luck I will be saying it's all go in a week or 2. Wish me luck 😔🤞🤞

So I've had to dust this little fella off im afraid!! Test run today wasn't very good. Still quite a bit of pain from the hip. So it's keep the hours up, but go non impact to let the hip rest up. And 4 sessions in the gym staring at a wall has sent me a little crazy!! So fingers crossed I get on ok with this over the next week or so!! But most of all I am GUTTED as bear brook running club ever so kindly gave me a space in their 10k run this Sunday, which I was REALLY looking forward to! But sadly, if the hip says no I've just got to rest it up. I'm SO sorry to let you down guys. But I'll be out for 4.5 hours Sunday morning and am aiming to get to the rugby club about 11am to say hi to you all! Hope that's ok? Wish I was out with you, and hope to be back on my running legs soon. But the show goes on!!

So, by popular demand (someone once mentioning it, in passing, to be polite) here is my training schedule for this little excursion of mine! I've got one day of strength training in the mix here too which I'm getting done on Mondays. The mid week runs are getting longer... and it ain't getting any cooler!!
