Became aware today that it's exactly 100 days to the West Highland Way race, my longest running event of the year.
Prior to this, in 38 days time I will be participating in the London Marathon, which I'm running to raise funds and awareness for the Roopai Spinal Trust.

Training update:
I was originally attempting to train for both of the events mentioned above, instead, I've focused on the London Marathon as I want to get under a finish time of 4 hours. I'm adding a bit of distance each week and also attempting to ramp up the pace gradually too. Going well so far, but starting to feel some wee tweaks, this always happens and it's something I've been expecting.

The only training that ideally benefits both is hill training, so I'm making sure I have at least one hilly session per wee, and I've even started seeking out hills on my runs, this is new to me, I used to avoid 'em!
I've also lost 16lbs in weight since the start of January this year, I'm thrilled about this and hope to lose another 6lbs before the London Marathon. My thinking being, if I lose it I don't have to carry it!
