A note of thanks from Siani D....

Despite my high risk training strategy of trips to the knee surgeon, physiotherapists, osteopath, and asthma nurse resulting in an 'alternative training' strategy of no running, the occasional drink (!), much limping and tears of frustration..... bizarrely enough I find myself about to embark on one of the biggest physical, mental and emotional challenges of my life.......sharing a pre-marathon hotel room with La Mase! Yikes - no pressure there then!

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported me on the way - and of course to the fan club who are travelling into London tomorrow to see the sights....(that's us Crazy Ladies running - not the tourist attractions, naturally). Your emails, texts, messages of support/wonderment/derision/laughter/congratulations/offers of sponsorship have all been truly amazing - and have really confirmed what great friends you all really are.

Enough emotion....you'll all be pleased to know that tonight I persuaded the rest of the girls to finally join me on the last leg of MY pre-marathon training plan.....champagne followed by a rather juicy rioja to accompany double chocolate fudge cake and a divine cheese plate....say no more! Looking forward to strolling tomorrow and a snifter of port on the way round, for pain relief of course, and to catch up with you all at the end - as I have always said - death or glory!! XX
