Well after two and a half hours in the pool this evening I now only have 166 laps to go :)

Pain making it rather difficult to get a proper lung full of air so had to go quite gentle today. Though feeling light headed and dizzy and having no idea where your legs are and even if you wanted to put your legs down you're not sure how deep it is.... is hilarious.

But I'm tucked up in my bed with my electric blanket (which the cat is trying to have the lions share of) and all is wonderfully warm and cosy and I'm ready for another mile tomorrow!

THANK YOU everyone whose sponsored me for this event. I was amazed to have reached my target (though unlike EC I might quit while I'm ahead before I end up with a shaven head trying to run anywhere - though I've my little sponsored walk in November to do!)

Clara you are doing brilliantly. Hopefully you will have finished by the time I come up for the Leicester half marathon, if you haven't I'll come and cheer you on for a few. It would be great if you could come and cheer me on too.

If I haven't finished by October I've drowned!! I set myself the target of no longer than 22 days so must be finished by the 22nd September. Hopefully we'll have finished by this Friday!

I'll be there at the marathon to wave you on! :)

GB, assez bien écrit. Google? Ou juste connaissances de langue? Tu permets que je corrige: 'une jeune dame fabuleuse'.

Oui, Clara, tu es une jeune dame fabuleuse. :)

How could you not understand GB? I did it in my best English - French: LOUD!

I'm off to the physio this afternoon. At least when she asks I can claim to be active! :)
