I was going to see how I get on at my 1st HM in Edinburgh next Sunday before deciding whether to do it or not but tonight thought would just go for it so now running for Great North Childrens Cancer Research in Sept.

Not feeling too nervous for Edinburgh HM - yet. Bit concerned havnt run quite as far these last couple weeks but keep telling myself it will be ok on the day. Am telling people I am not concerned with time and just be happy to complete route BUT wee bit of me would be over the moon if can do it in under 2h40m.

I have an entry too ff60. It was deferred from last year after I got swine flu. I may be brave enough to do it if I know you'll be there too!
