Day 10 and I'm not drinking....still, this seems to me to be the hardest bit so far......well not really!
I feel better for it.. I do...I do honest!
But for the record, this is the longest period since I was 16/17/18 that I havent had an alcoholic Beverage! Feralyn is sick and tired of me going on about it!
My running is going up a gear at the moment as well, I'm doing 5 runs a week, and have started the sprint work.
This week consists of, Mon-rest, Tues-30 mins easy, Weds- 30 mins including sprints, Thurs- 30 mins-Steady, Fri- Rest Staurday 30 mins Jog, Sun- 13 miles (Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon).
Last night I flew round a 5 k circuit, but jeez my split shins are killing me! Really painfull, I'll have to keep an eye on them!
Feralyn has been brilliant with letting me go out running whenever I need to, so if you haven't sponsered me yet, sponser her!
We have it down to a fine art, children fed and watered when Fezza gets in from work, and the house relativley tidy! I go off running and Imogen will run me a bath for when I get back in!
Tunbridge Wells 1/2 marathon on Sunday, this will give me a real indication of the time I expect to come in at, apparently I have to add 5% to this time, so if I come in off this hilly half in under 2 hours....well I may just fall off the wagon on Sunday night!
My fund raising is going ok, I feel a little embarrased asking people for money, but it is such a great little charity...
Sparks is the children’s medical research charity. The sole remit is to fund research across the whole spectrum of paediatric medicine. The goal is for all babies to be born healthy and stay healthy.
Every day 70 babies are born in the UK with a life-threatening condition or an illness that will affect them and their families for life. Sparks aims to reduce this statistic so all children have the chance of a healthy future.

Imagine being told that your child has cancer, imagine your child having damaged lungs or imagine your child facing life in a wheelchair. Imagine the difference you can make by supporting Sparks.
Together we can make a real difference to the lives of sick babies and children.

Thanks For Reading and putting up with my terrible spelling and grammer!
If you have sponsered me already thankyou very much, if you haven't why not, every little helps, to coin a budget supermarket that I shop at Phrase!
I am running 2 sponser routes, 1 on line and 1 off line, if you don't want to give online, give me a call and I will add you to sheet!
Thanks Again!

I'm just back from a run as it goes. You know me, even in our finest partying hours all those year's ago, I'd still pull on my trainers.
I hurt more than I used to, but that is just old age!
I'm game to sponsor, sounds like a good cause. Hell it will even cut down on your liver abuse, its a good thing all round :)
Love to the family xx Jackie S
