Front page article in the Windsor and Ascot Express - you need to buy the paper for the full story...this is just a teaser!

We were also featured in the Windsor Observer, so here's hoping this too will help with the fundraising.

Only one week left now until the big day and the jazzy vests have arrived so we will have a proper team outfit to wear and everything! On the bright side this means the last weekend of training, and a slightly easier week to taper nicely and ensure we're ready for action in a week's time.

Did a nice 5k race this morning in Finsbury Park just to get some speedwork in, and then ran 8 miles home. I look forward to going back to the days when a 5k race was enough on a Saturday. According to my training log I have done 299.9 miles since 1st January 2010 which is pleasing, but also slightly frustrating - am tempted to go back outside and just do a little sprint around my front garden to break the 300 barrier...

Visit www.runnersworld.com/log if you want to start your own training log, it's really handy and also quite nice to have to look back through now, a week before the race - which tends to be the time when I panic and think aaah I should have trained more, I should have got more miles in blah blah blah - and see that you have done all your sessions and helps keep track of your pace/mileage etc. Quite useful if you're a geek like me.
