Half way there...

Ok... so it's been ages since I wrote anything or made a video. But that's because I've had a hell of a lot of catching up to do!

Those of you who follow me on twitter or are on my facebook page will know that I had a pretty nasty knee injury a few weeks back. I had to have some horrible treatment, and take a lot of time off. Which meant that I ended up being almost 50 miles behind schedule, and I was finding that my spirits were pretty low. But, thanks to a lot of encouragement and support from everyone, I managed to really step up and work hard to get things back on track.

And so, I am now over half way to the 1,000mile finish line.

I'm really feeling quite proud of myself right now. 500miles is a big achievement and it really proves to people that I'm serious about this. I've also caught up on the miles that I lost during my injury, which is a huge weight off my shoulders. I can now get back to running sensible amounts (as I'm very aware that running ten miles is silly, considering I obviously have a weak knee), and I'll even be able to take the odd day off without feeling guilty about it! So it's smiles all around from this girl.

On the sponsorship front... things are going well, but I'm not half way to my target yet. It'd be great if I could reach £1,500 soon. I have to give a big shout-out to Graeme Hackland though - he sponsors me every time I cross another 100mile marker. And he even donates extra money when he feels like I've been working hard! So thank you very much Graeme :)

And now for my excuse about not making a video! Basically, there were about three weeks when I wasn't running. So that would have been quite boring and pointless. And then I was running so much to catch up, that I've barely had time to do anything. (I feel like I'm at school and explaining why I haven't done my homework). But there are plans in place for a mighty comeback of the exciting challenges, and a video will be coming your way very soon. Like it or not :P

I think that's pretty much everything for now. You're all up to speed on how it's going, and that's good! If anyone is feeling especially generous as you're reading this, click on my little JustGiving tab on the right hand side of the page and throw a few pennies into my sponsorship pot. Cheeky, I know, but if you don't ask, you don't get!

I'll try not to leave it so long next time :)

Love Nat xx
