To those I haven't already pestered beyond believe to raise sponsorship, you may not have heard I've put my name down to do the London Marathon.

26 miles and a bit of pain and sweat - ughhh I can't wait! I've already lost 36 pounds in weight (more to go) since party conference and have actually started to do some training (something I didn't do the two other times I completed the course).

I've attached a pic of the training course I will be using - all nice and flat round our local estate. If I can manage 26 laps of it I know I will be fine. GULP!!

PS - thanks the the very generous people who have already donated - it all goes a long way to help and is for a very good cause!
