Just can't believe that I have had a bad cold for the last week and have not been able to run. I now feel that I am on the mend and can start to do some training again. Thank goodness all the long runs are done and now just need to cruise. I need to be very positive and be happy that my cold did not arrive next week. My lovely sister has had to pull out of the marathon due to injury but she has worked so hard. It's very difficult at this stage to say no and it's been a big struggle for her. She continues to be a great support for me and will be cheering for me on the day. Well done girl, dam good effort.
