4 months in and it has already been a roller coaster ride for both the training and the fundraising.
Fundraising has not been as smooth as hoped with less support than anticipated from certain areas, however I have $3,850 raised on the way towards the $10,000 goal and there are plenty of options in the pipeline!
I have dealt with health & fitness issues ranging from the aches and pains associated with getting used to running again, through to a bout of Giardia and all the complications that brings - including wanting to give up as the symptoms dragged on and I lost over 6 weeks out of my training plan! Finally, with the support of friends, family and a magnificent physiotherapist, my training is back on track and a pair of orthotics combined with new running shoes means pain free runs :)
This week brings 2 new challenges - day surgery tomorrow (including a light general anaesthetic) and the SMH Half Marathon on Sunday for which I feel unprepared AND it will be a great experience anyway.
Join Hugh Jackman in giving the world's poor a hand up, not a hand out, and support me in my marathon bid by donating today at http://www.everydayhero.com.au/mikeedyejones_mmm.
