Things are just trucking along.....

Had a 'charity' day on Friday as first I met up with Gloria and Cheryl from Wave105 and then with Lindsey from Jigsaw.
Gloria was keen to do an audio with me in order that this could be used as part of the Cash for Kids update that goes out on Fridays. Can't tell you how scary it is to have a recorder pushed in your face and asked to talk, ad-lib, about what your doing...what was I doing?! I suddenly totally forgot and Gloria had to mouth hints at me so that I could say something. I even forgot how much I'd raised!
After that it was down to the hospital to meet with Lindsey. Lisa (promotion team) turned up as well and was once again annoyed that no-one from Bournemouth Echo has been in contact with me. She's also got a lead at a couple of magazines who appear interested but lets wait and see before getting excited. Talked through my upcoming 'training' run from Jigsaw to Wave over the last weekend in June. Lindsey was keen to set up a tracker page through Facebook and have location photos sent through live....bit too techie for me I had to admit but I know there are a couple of people from Bournemouth Joggers who have offered to come along as my support crew and would probably understand how to do this....Lauren!!
Also looking good on the physio front - both of them had spoken to different people within the physio team in the hospital and there was a lot of interest in helping me get through the year in one piece so again, will wait to see on that front.
It's all coming together nicely at the moment so long may that continue. Have only run once this week so giving my body a bit of a break. Will pick it up again next week but the weather is so changeable. This weekend was lovely but the week either side is wet and windy.
Update on RelayGB is that the baton is now in Scotland. They have had several 'legs' where there have been no volunteer runners and the RelayGB crew themselves have been hitting the roads to ensure we have every chance of breaking that world record. They've also had gales and torrential rain virtually following them round so all credit for keeping it going. They've only got just over 400 miles to go to pass the current world record mark so in the next couple of days I should know if I'm a World Record holder!!
On the fundraising side of things, another great week and I've now passed the £2,500 mark so had to up the target again to £3,000....well done everyone!
