Run Forty-Two: 5 Miles (Tapering) 7 Days to Go!

Filling my iPod with up-tempo music!

My t-shirt with my name on is ready to go!

Post-5 mile run spent trying to warm up in the greenhouse!

19th April

I have started tapering for the marathon! This means doing a succession of short runs (3-5 miles) during the last 7 day run up to the marathon.
This, quite scarily, means I only have 7 DAYS until I run 26.2 miles for Macmillan Cancer Support at the 2015 London Marathon - this seems to have come round really quickly!
I have been training for months so definitely feel ready.
This week I will do a 5 mile run on Tuesday and a 3 mile run on Thursday as part of my tapering routine and then the big day, yikes!

About Me

Rose Thompson | MA Student | Living in London

My Dad and I will be running the London Marathon in April for Macmillan Cancer Support. In the last few months two family friends lost their fight with Cancer and we are going to run the marathon for them and for the families they have left behind. Macmillan nurses are not just there for those diagnosed with cancer, they are also there to help the families who have to deal with the loss of the most important people in their lives.

We are all affected by cancer and we can all help. If you can donate £1 or £100. If you can sell something you no longer want on ebay and donate the profit. If you can bake some cupcakes, do a sponsored naked cycle, skydive, swimathon, whatever, every little helps. My dad and I are going to try and do our little bit, 26 miles and 385 yards to be exact and we would really love your support.

This is for you Alyson and you Graeme. And for you Grandma, because although I was only little when you went, it doesn't get any easier.

Please help us improve the lives of those living with cancer.
