Three weeks until the marathon!

Goodness, I never knew I could ache this much! My knee is killing but hopefully it'll have time to recover before the big day! I managed to run 16.65 miles on Saturday but only on the treadmill as I'm still not supposed to road-run; it was so boring and I was so hungry afterwards! Trust me to think of my tummy...

I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has sponsored me to run the London marathon - your amazing generosity has helped me raise over £2000... (www.justgiving.com/rebeccabalcombe)

Now all I've got to do is muster the energy run the 26.2 miles!

I decided to do this for very personal reasons but the generosity everyone has shown in donating this much money has encouraged me so much. It's kept me going through the difficult training sessions and the rubbish knee injury, and it really will keep me going on the day!If anyone is free on Sunday 23rd April and fancies coming along to shout nice encouraging words/throw bananas and lucozade at us, let us know where you're going to be so that we can look out for you! I'll be wearing a green Macmillan vest with Becks written on it and George will be wearing an orange Addaction vest with her name on (www.justgiving.com/georgette).

Better get back to training and carb loading - after all, I don't want to be beaten by all of the Rhinos!
