We hear about the power of social media all the time but I never apprecaited how quickly it sweeps through spreading news and leading to action.
Last week Tom (my lovely brother) posted my Virgin money giving page on facebook, Australia time. By the time I was up in the UK I had about 8 emails from friends, and within 2 days £370 had been donated - my friends are amazing!
One thing that bought a smile to my face - a very good friend of my mum's phoned her with wonder at how well I was doing with my running, "up there with Paula Radcliffe". Check it out ;-)....http://www.marathonnewstv.com/?f=Kate&l=Morrison&ch&v=KateMorrison
Hopefully the momentum will continue, and maybe a little inspiration from this news report will rub off?!
ps if you are interested, here is my virgin money page - all money raised goes to Macmillan, an incredibly worthwhile cause touching the lives of thousands.

Life goes on
I have not posted anything for ages and ages, for the prime reason I am really embarrassed by my lack of discipline to "the training programme".
Life seems to have got in the way - christmas, getting sick, exams, moving house. I have a continual internal battle, desperately trying to justify my lack of miles to myself....coughing has really improved my core strength; moving to a 2nd floor flat was like continual lunges all day, skiing is brilliant quad exercise etc etc.
Enough of the excuses and the guilt now...I have been doing a bit of training and am focussed and motivated to embrace this challenge. I want to get fit and do my best so lets see where this goes....
Today though - rest day ;-)
