Donna's 14 miler
Well things are going well. I'm running a regular 4 –5 miles every other day and actually enjoying it.A talk and lunch was arranged for all the runners at work last week and Bud Baldaro was inspirational – really helped.
Work kindly bought me an MP3 player this week and although it sounds rather overdramatic, it has changed my life. Obviously Rocky is still on there but now have the Flashdance album and a bit of Pink. Also downloaded the Chris Moyles podcast and looked like an idiot last night running with Solo and laughing my head off!!! However, it takes my mind off distance and getting tired so all good.
Tomorrow, Saturday is my biggest run yet. 14.25 miles. Scared to death – the worst thing is that although it is a ruddy long way, I'd still have 12 miles on top of that on the day – oh my god.
However, am looking forward to the challenge – am downloading the Grease soundtrack today so I can have a bit of karaoke all the way. If I can walk on Monday I'll update in the next blog.

Keep up the great work - it'll be worth it in the end! I ran the London marathon in 2000 so know what you're going through!
