Sorry I have been missing in action!!! Let me try and fill you in on what we have been up to - running wise!!!
Well last week we did a 21km run - HALF A MARATHON - just for training!!! We ran from James Guchuru - down Riverside Drive - Arboretum - State House - Dennis Prit - Argwings Kodek - back to James GIchuru - Covent Drive and home!!!! 2 and a bit hours later! Quite grueling towards the end!!! But we did it - and had to get straight up the next day and do another run!
Today was another long run which we did around Runda - lovely to do a new route - but it poured with rain for the last half an hour - so we were running in the pouring rain (brought back happy childhood memories of running around in the rain!).
Home for a long hot bath and Carey had got delicious hot croissants for a late breakfast and I spent the rest of the day on the couch :)
Alison and I are as committed as ever and are still loving this challenge, but it is getting really tough now. The runs are more frequent and getting really long!! So we need your encouragement more than ever now.
8 Weeks to go til D Day!
Look forward to hearing from you all.

Hope our smiles are this big at the end of the Marathon!!!
We are the greatest of friends and we love a challenge. So, at the end of last year we decided to take part in our very 1st full Marathon! We have both done half marathons before but never a full one! So we are going to take part in the Lewa Marathon in Kenya on the 26th June 2010 which has been described by many as one of the hardest - way to go Alison and Mary! So we have embarked on a 24 week training programme and here we describe our journey!
Some Humorous Running Anecdotes to keep us Smiling
You have to forget your last marathon before you try another. Your mind can't know what's coming.
Frank Shorter
It hurts up to a point and then it doesn't get any worse.
Ann Trason
I believe that the Good Lord gave us a finite number of heartbeats and I'm damned if I'm going to use up mine running up and down a street.
Neil Armstrong
Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?
Peter Maher
And this one goes out to our two biggest supporters Jimi and Carey:
We can't all be heroes because someone has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.
Will Rogers
Hope our smiles are this big at the end of the Marathon!!!
