Chomping At The Bit

Good news today. I think I have exceeded the target on my 100 Ks Against Cancer fundraiser today. I say, "I think," because my Mum was making a donation on behalf of some friends who had given her cash. A message appeared on screen to say that the transaction was not completed so she paid it again, then it appeared on my page that apparently both the first and second payment went through. Anyway, even when one of the payments for £61 is removed, I think the target of Y50,000 will have been exceeded. Anything I raise after that will be a bonus, so thank you to everybody who has contributed towards this fundraiser.

I went shopping at Sports Direct.com and got some terrific bargains. I am really excited about using the bag with the hydration unit built in. I've never used one before; I usually carry a hip flask. Two litres of sports drink in my bladder, six gels, two packets of electrolyte replacement tablets ...... I think I'm ready for Sunday. I'm really excited about it!

Mum almost drank a whole 2,000 calories nutrient supplement drink this morning. She couldn't quite finish it because it wore her out. However, this afternoon she had a few spoonfuls of a curry Pot Noodle, so she is doing pretty well. Perhaps she'll have a bit more energy tomorrow. She is looking forward to going out for a day trip to the local hospice on Friday.
