Great North Run - Training update

Hello - This is my latest update. Training has been going well and planning my first 10 mile run tomorrow. Have been managing to train 4 times a week, doing different types of running, some hill training, sprints and longer runs.

Darlington 10k next weekend and South Shields 10 mile the following weekend - eeek.

I have my consultant appointment in 10 days and should get the results of my bone marrow biopsy, so hope to get an actual diagnosis (fingers crossed)

Any donations that you can manage would be greatly appreciated :-)

Thank you

Full of admiration for you, Chrissie - spoken as one who would struggle to run to the front door if someone knocked!!😳 Good luck with the diagnosis. Remember you can come here and rant/ask questions/whatever! We are here to support each other. Best wishes, Jan

Hi Beetle, I do like to read the posts on here, they are very informative. I really hope that I get an actual diagnosis soon as it has been over 3 years now and still don't have a definite answer. :-)

Thank you Linds, feet are the bit hurting the most at the moment ;-) Suddenly got my first ever verrucca which I do not seem to be able to get rid of and it is quite painful now. Oh well it should go eventually (i hope) xx

Chrissie, hot foot to a chiropodist and they will get rid of that verruca very quickly. Blisters are one thing but a verruca .......poor you.
