Countdown: 3 months to go

How can I avoid clichés about the speed of time passing in this post?  Yes, time has been passing more quickly than I could have imagined.  No, I don't know where it's gone.  Yes, there are three months to go.  No, I'm not well prepared!  But three months is long enough to do a lot, I hope!  Indeed, the training programmes offered by the London marathon organisers seem to be suggesting long runs of only 10-12 miles at this stage - that's a normal weekly run for me.  (Endurance, not speed, is the only thing I have going for me, but that's nevertheless quite a useful capacity for marathon running.)  So it could be considered that I'm doing OK.  I'm not sure I'm entirely convinced by the training programmes, though, which are designed for people who can train more frequently than I manage and which seem to expect a lot of progress in a short time.  All the same, my own training, a lot more haphazard but also a lot more gradual, is going as well as I might hope, and so far is achieving its main aim of avoiding injury while building up stamina and strength at least a bit.  Indeed, I managed a run of about 18 miles before Christmas, although "run" might not be a good description for what I was doing by the end.  So, I suppose you could say things are on track from that perspective.  I just need to get moving again after a few weeks of disruption and over-indulgence! 

For the fundraising aspect I'm less sure you could say that I'm up to speed.  It's going a bit slowly - and that's unsurprising I suppose considering the limited time I've spent on it.  Unfortunately, it comes back to my choice to take on this project in the final year of my degree; time is at a bit of a premium just now.  With fundraising, though, just as with training, haphazard and gradual is probably at least reasonably effective, and I know that there are quite a few people who are planning to make a donation but haven't managed to get round to it yet!  Maybe, if you're one of them, you could help ease my jitters by visiting my fundraising page?  And maybe, if you think this project has anything to recommend it, you could tell a friend about it? 

As always, thank you for all your help and support!
