Nessie is back & raring to go to do it all again in 2010!
In April I managed to complete my first ever marathon in London & it was one of the most FAB things I have ever done & been involved with! Yes, if the truth be known I actually enjoyed plodding my way round 26.2 miles soaking up the amazing atmosphere! So I thought to myself why not give it another go & raise another bundle of cash for a very deserving charity.... Why the hell not I can hear you ask.... but then I can see you all thinking.... Uh oh, she's going to be on the scrounge for sponsors again!!!!! BUT... because I understand how much I begged & pleaded to you all for donations last year, this time I am seriously upping the stakes on the challenge front so you will REALLY get your monies worth out of me...... plus a little incentive for good measure! >>>>>>>>>>>
SO HERE'S THE DEAL.........
If you dig really deep & most generously donate whatever amount of your hard earned cash as you can then in return I will do a few things for you.....
1. I will return to London on the 25th April to relive my first marathon but with a view to settle my demons & beat my course time of 5:47!!
2. Then, 4 weeks later.....yes just 4 tiny weeks later..... I will do it all again & complete the Edinburgh marathon on the 23rd May! Yep, I can hear you all screaming...she's nuts!! But wait....there's more....I know, as if running 2 marathons in 4 weeks isnt enough effort for your very kind donations.....
3. If I am sucessful in getting in, in November 2010 I am aiming to complete the New York marathon, making it a triple marathon challenge!!
I mean how much sweat & tears can a girl give to deserve a few pounds??? oh, you want more... ok, well how about I become part of a team who in September will take on the mighty "Monster Race" where you relay around the beautiful Lochness both running & cycling..... oh go on then, if I must!
Quite honestly, I feel exhausted just typing & reading that, let alone actually doing the races & not to mention the hours & hours spent training to even get to the start line fit, healthy & injury free. So I am really hoping you will come along on this journey with me & give me your support & encouragement which is why I have created this site where you can read my training diary so you can see what effort goes into the training with out having to actually break a sweat yourself!!
Not forgetting, MOST importantly, is the who?!
Who am I raising money for? I am delighted to say that throughout the whole of 2010 & all the events I am doing, I will be supporting the very worthy charity that is the MS Society. This is in memory of a dear friend of mine who has now passed away but suffered with MS for most of her life. Of course this is not only for her but also for the thousands of people, some of which I know are your friends & family who suffer with this disabling condition.Lastly, for those who know me very well & to those who maybe don't, I want you to know that I am incredibly passionate about achieving what I set out to do, any support, whether it be a donation or an encouraging reply on my training blog I will be utterly grateful for!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, Nessie x x
