4 days to go...
So you may have heard me earlier on Community Link on GTFM with Chris...
I was giving a little update on my progress... only THEN to be suprised by presenters/staff to come into the studio and give me a cake!
(I was 20 last week and i thought they'd forgotten but they hadnt!)
A Tigger cake it was! They tried to find me a meerkat cake but failed so i had a tigger one which pleased me lots!!
Anyway... i deviate!
It's the 13th of October today... the 17th of October is run day...
Today i ran a mile (and a half)... 3 laps around 3 streets near where i live... no stopping either! it was ok...
I have a running number now too!!
2936!
Remember, I'm running for 2 charities... 2! so the monies collected will be split between GTFM (Registered charity 1111030) and Teenage Cancer Trust.
For now...
Peace out :)

eeeek! 5 days to go...
So today, I went for a full on run.
Properly run and tried my hardest... run part of the route again ... from my house (cogan) to the end of the barrage and back...
The running was halted when one of the barrage gates opened but never mind!
4 miles... it's a third (near enough) of what im due to run on sunday!
It's dawning on me now ... it's a full on challenge now!
Challenge. On!
That is all.
Hear me talking about the run on GTFM 107.9 tomorrow afternoon... (around 1.30pm)

Approaching Fast...
Hey all!
So i turned 20 yesterday... no longer a teenager now but thats not shying away from the fact it's the cardiff half marathon in 10 days time!
I'll be honest - I haven't been doing much training.
I am now getting a little scared... my number and pack came through the other day...
Argh!! Keep it tuned to GTFM 107.9/ Here on my blog over the next week or so to hear how im doing...
Sponsor too! Remember it's for charity! Teenage Cancer Trust and GTFM (2 Registered Charities)

Under 4 weeks...
Ok... so i've just come back from a run..
Todays run took me on part of the actual route of the Cardiff Half Marathon (Penarth Marina and Barrage) - 2ish miles
I will admit, this is getting difficult - in school i used to be a sprinter (100m - and proud of it too! running at the old Cardiff athletics stadium and winning a few school county championship races on some occasions! - a little unknown fact there)
and i'm still in that stage of "Sprinting" ... or as some would say ... setting the pace too quickly! so over the next four weeks i have to get myself out of that phase to run 13 miles!
Follow my progress on GTFM 107.9/ www.gtfm.co.uk ...
Now for a coolish bath and a banana... healthy stuff! (The banana not the bath)
bye for now!
Sunday 17th October! Date for your diaries!
oh... and If you've come here after hearing my trail on GTFM... Welcome!

Run!! Phew!!
So... Lots of people have been saying "have i been running" "have i been in trainin for the half marathon"... Well... I shall update....
Today went for a run with my good ole friend Matt who i went to High School with and am currently attending uni with him too doing the exact same course!
Anyway - he's also doing the Cardiff Half marathon in over a months time and hes worrying a little as i've done it before and he hasnt.
BUT He's much better at keeping a pace than me!! I don't know why he's worrying... ah well.
but nevertheless - 2.3 miles in 18 minutes... which is quite good in my opinion. around 8 minute miles.
Keep the sponsors coming in!! Sunday 17th October 2010 - Half Marathon!
The routes pretty nice too. It starts at Lloyd George Avenue (Reddragon Centre)... and finishes at the same place but then goes around all the nice parts of Cardiff (pontcanna fields/ cardiff city centre/ Cardiff (penarth) barrage and then Penarth Marina...
Updates will be more regular now...
Speak soon!
(on air - today from 4pm - 7pm and then tomorrow morning 6am - 10am - GTFM 107.9 or online www.gtfm.co.uk )
