Thursday 19th March 2009

Chris...

Just the one day left and then its all go.
I have not been updating the blog because i have been struck down with the dreaded 'lurgy'. I woke up Tuesday morning with a sore throat and a blocked up head, sniffing and coughing like a good one. I have not done much at all this week apart from a couple of 3k jogs around the block with Ben. I seem to have gone down hill all week. I felt like shit today when I woke up and realised that it had gone onto my chest, so a visit to the quacks was in order and I am now on Anti Bionics. He said it was the worst case of Man Flu he had ever seen, he did not know how I was still standing, he even compared it to child birth , only worse!! I just hope that I don't get post Man Flu Depression !! - Joking aside I am pretty down with the fact that I have been training hard for many months now, only to get a cold and a chest infection in the last week. I will get round the course no problem but unless these pills start working I am gong to be pretty slow. Still its not about being fast, that's just my pride messing with me, it's about creating awareness and raising funds to help children and their family's who are suffering with Cancer. It's about reminding people that my daughter Georgina, was here and was beautiful, kind and considerate and that she fought long and hard and probably endured more in those 11 months, than most of us have to endure in an entire life time. - proud of you kid

I will post again after the challenge and let you know how it went.

Thank you all for your generosity and kind support.

Later.
Chris
