Melbourne Marathon and Alzheimer’s Victoria

From Lisa North in North Warrandyte
Hi all:

For those of you who don’t know I have been stupid enough to put my name down for the Melbourne Marathon this year which is being held on the 11th of October. I am now into my last 3 weeks of my 12 week training schedule. Mostly it has been good but I’ve had a few hiccups along the way. Things are back on track now and I’m still hoping for a 3.30 hour marathon – well Simon is at least! My last marathon, 8 years ago, I managed in just under 4 hours so I think a 3.30 one is a big ask but I’ll be giving it my best shot. I expect a lot of pain, though, in the last 10km!!! To help me push through the pain and keep me running those last km I’ll be thinking of all the money my tired and battered legs are raising. I am raising money for Alzheimer’s Victoria along with my team mates (a few other mad people from work. Some doing the half marathon, some doing the full marathon) so if you feel able to support me and my team with our fund raising just click on the link below and donate whatever you feel you can. Every little helps!
