Did this Half Marathon on Sunday as part of my training for the Tiberias Marathon which is the test run for the London 2012 one. Must sound like I am a complete running nutter (which I would like to think of myself I am not), so I have to explain: the Tiberias is my first marathon ever and I am so scared of it, that I am following this specific training plan religiously.

Stollen is a very sweet and traditional German Christmas cake thingy. I took some mini versions of them to work (and some nice Hanuta Wafers, which is a fond childhood memory of mine).

They did it and my fund raising barometer rose an other £21.66! Cool.
Thanks everyone for an encouraging start with the fund raising. Within the first 5 days (and without harassing anyone) 5 guys of you donated and gave the fund raising an amazing kick start of 7% of the total sum (£141.20 of the £2,000). It made my 2hours 20min training run that weekend so much easier. Thanks again, you are the best!
