I've just signed up to run for the Help for Heroes charity at FLM 2009. Had an email from them to say their team was now up to 128 runners - anyone else out there?

I was thinking about which charity to run for and this could be the one.

Hi,

I'm running for H4H too. I haven't started chasing people to sponsor me yet though.

How's the training going?

Hi Night Nurse. Got a bit of a shock there cos there is another Night Nurse on the sub-3.45 thread but it's not you!

I've not started any fundraising yet either....last time I started too early and then got injured so pulled out. So I am going to leave it a while yet.

Training OK - did a half marathon last Sunday which was longest run so far - and it hurt...

How about you?

Well done on the half marathon!

I managed a 10 mile race a few weeks back. It wasn't pretty, but I finished! That's the furthest I've run for about 5 years!! I'm aiming to maintain my current mileage until the New Year and then start training properly.

Sounds a good plan EB. I'm not planning on anything longer than 10-12 miles this side of the new year. Have a 10k race planned on New Years Day (why?????) and then start a proper marathon schedule from there.

How is the training and fundraising going all you H4H runners?

Hi EB!

Training looking good at the moment. Had a scare in January when I pulled my calf, and took a month off running, but after that I've been doing well - did the Cranleigh 21 last weekend and finished with some energy left in the tank...looking to do 20-22 for my last really long run on Sunday and then TAPER!!

Up to just over £1000 for the charity so far, which I am chuffed with too.

How about you?

Well done you H4H runners.

I am running for them in the GSR this year and IF I get into the marathon next year I will be running for them again

Good luck to you all!

Just want to say GOOD LUCK to the H4H runners this Sunday i'm sure you have all raised a fair amount of cash for them and hope you all get through it unscathed with times you are proud of
