Eek! I've found out that I have got a place in the 2009 London Marathon. I'm thrilled, but also slightly apprehensive that I haven't managed Athens yet. Still, at least this means I'll have a second chance to fine-tune my training.
Recently my marathon training has veered off-track as I had a bad cold which turned into flu, which I then made worse by attempting a casual 8 miles when I thought I was better, so I'm worried that my preparation for Athen's has been less than ideal. With less than two weeks until the big day now I've decided the most important thing is to get well as soon as possible, so am taking it easy as much as possible, and am chugging down lemon and ginger tea whilst eating oranges for vitamin C. Finger's crossed I'll be back in my trainers soon.
About Me
- Laura Lou
- I am a trained medical doctor and novelist based in North Devon. After a brief stint as a Medical Writer and health and fitness/outdoor sports journalist I have decided to focus on fiction and now have completed five novels for children/young adults, one of which is available to buy on Amazon (search Laura Louise Stewart or book title Secrets of the Spirits). I have been a runner for many years and have run-explored my way around the world(Paris, Barcelona, Lausanne, Porto, California, New York and North Carolina to name a few locations seen with my runner's eye view.) My other passions are music, dancing, swimming, attempting surfing and other watersports, and thinking about doing a triathlon (whilst sitting comfortably at home drinking copius amounts of tea).
