With only 11 days to go until the half marathon, thoughts are beginning to turn to the day itself rather than just being focused on training. The post below from runnersworld.co.uk has useful tips for first time runners that help with nerves and race day preparation. We've done all the training, and covered over 1,000 miles between us in the last 12 weeks so with one last week of our schedules left, it will soon all be over! Thought I would include a link to the below, these little things are brilliant. I used one in my marathon last year - they are temporary tattoos which detail your mile splits and are transferred onto your arm with a bit of water. They only cost a few pounds and help keep your time on track, so definitely worth it. Plus Chanel has been featuring all sorts of temporary tattoos on their catwalks this year, so we're on trend...

We are in the process of ordering special 'Team H-J' vests with our names on the front, all the better for people to cheer us on when we go round. We've also had a few calls from local papers asking about the race, so fingers crossed we might have a few more stories to match our ones in the Doncaster Star and on www.sport.co.uk. They were quite keen on interviewing Mark so he is becoming quite the local celebrity. Any articles or pieces might encourage people to donate so it's all great news, plus we have now raised in excess of £4,000 which has smashed our original target.
Some days when it was super cold and snowy and my duvet seemed particularly snuggly I remembered that people were paying for me to get out of bed, get my ski socks and five layers on and get out there - so it has definitely been inspiring.
