A month to go and donation problems

Hi All
One month to go to the big race and nerves are starting to kick in. Uschi and i are putting one last training spurt in but i dont think you can ever be ready for the mental challenge ahead.
Just one thing if you have tried to donate and it does not work then please email martin.white@veoliawater.com and send me your pledge please.We are in contact with the charity web site THANKYOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS ALREADY DONATED.

Hamburg Marathon Success!!

On the 27th of April Martin and I completed the Hamburg Marathon. I have now qualified for Comrades. The final training month is now finally here. We feel humbled by the prospect of completing 89km, more than double the distance we completed on Sunday.
We do have a shared training session in May which should motivate us further.
Thank-you to Nick for taking care of the website, and Kiren for the great poster to help the fund raising effort!
Thank-you to everyone for your support it is greatly appreciated!
(Mandy is now our official Marathon Groupie)

Greetings from Germany

Martin has been the captain of the team as I have weathered the adaption in Germany. As previously mentioned we have been training solo for the last five months. This has been a major achievement for us both and testament to our determination, the winter has been long and hard. Two weeks ago it was snowing during training. Martin and Kiren are keeping the momentum going for our donation drive, please support us generously!!
Training for Hamburg has gone really well for us both we are looking forward to it as well as the beers after!

Hamburg Next

Both Uschi and martin's training is going well (fingers crossed). The return to winter doesnt help getting up in the mornings but Spring is in the air. The Hamburg Marathon is less than three weeks away now so our efforts are concentrated on this at present. If only i could stop thinking about all the great bars in hamburg which i need to visit after the race. By the way please visit our web site at www.56mile.co.uk cheers

IN DEEP

Sorry i have not posted a comment for ages.I suppose i could blame the training. So anyway i have got conformation of my entry for the comrades this year. Uschi and i will be running the hamburg marathon next month for her qualification which she has trained hard for . I will post more updates very soon right up to the race itself and also publish a few pics. The charity link will appear soon and you can be sure that every pound raised goes to an amazing charity for children bye for now
