Only a couple miles to go, only a couple of days, so here I am plugging myself again! Help me power life saving heart research, any donation would be greatly appreciated! Much love 💕 https://mymarathon18.everydayhero.com/uk/Mikeyyyy #mymarathon #everythingcounts #everylifematters #britishheartfoundation

So I did my last run on Monday (I think), I did 3 miles, over half without stopping which I've never been able to do before 😎 and in my fastest 3 mile time, very proud of myself. Sadly, due to a stomach bug, infection, and running out of my tablets I haven't been able to run since and I had to do the last few miles of the challenge as walking, but a mile is a mile and it all counts. I dropped almost a stone this month so I've decided that once I'm better it's time to start building some muscle to bulk myself up as I'm now at the lowest weight I've been in the last 10 or so years and rather than eating crap to put it back on I'd rather tone up. Finally, I think I'm going to stick with running. I've really missed it since being poorly and can't wait to get back to it and see more improvements. I won't be running as much, especially if I'm trying to put weight on, but a few times a week along side weights will do me good.

Yay! I completed MyMarathon!! Thank you to all of you, who donated, cheered and supported me throughout this challenge!!

3miles completed today, had a real internal struggle going on today between wanting to cut the run short and knowing that if I did that I wouldn't be able to make up the miles and get the 26.2 needed and I would fail at yet another goal I'd set out for myself. I won today, but I still need to push forward. I think this is one of the hardest parts of exercise, I have my 26.2 goal, but it seems so far away, and if I look further forward it's a lifetime thing, I really struggle with things like this. Give me something short term and I can handle it but as soon as I start looking at the bigger picture it becomes an impossible task. Side note: I cried my eyes out today after my run, emotions were high anyway and then my mom left me a message saying how proud my Grandad would be of me for doing this (I'm doing the run in his memory), and that just set me off completely.
