Three sleeps to go

Sunny Coast marathon coming up

Hi all

On Sunday, I’ll run (and walk) in the Sunshine Coast Marathon, putting in the first 42 of the 200km I’m aiming at this August for Fred’s Big Run. Because of the need for recovery after the big race, I’ll be counting cycling as well s running in that total

I’m enjoying the taper phase of my marathon training. For various reasons I couldn’t train as hard as I would have liked, but that’s in the past now. I’ve decided not to worry about finishing time, just finishing. Even so, it will be tough and I will need all the hlep I can get

While I won’t be standing on any podiums on Sunday, I’m still in contention for a podium finish in fundraising, currently sitting at #6 on the leaderboard and less than $1000 outside the top 3. So you can expect plenty more emails from now until the end of August.

Your donations will encourage me to keep going to the end and on to the Sunshine Coast 70.3 Ironman event in September.

Please help if you can, or just give me an encouraging comment

Thanks

John
