Time to push the limits - again

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Well I decided to take the plunge again this year and push my physical limits.

I have signed up for the half triathlon in London (permission to walk the 5km)

and also to a 44km in a day walk for Breast Cancer.

Some of you may remember that the reason I found out I had CMT was because in

2003 I did a half marathon (walking) and my foot really hurt after, so when I

signed up for a full marathon in 2004 I went to sort it out before I did the

marathon (get orthotics) and one thing led to another and I got my diagnosis.

In 2005 I did a 60km in two days, and then in 2006 took a year off as we bought

a house which I managed the modernisation efforts - and combined with work

travel had no time to train.

Anyway, wish me luck. I am fundraising (as usual) for Breast Cancer, CMT and

also a scholarship for US university women. You can read more about my efforts

on http://home.earthlink.net/~sponsordonna - I am trying to figure

out how to link a blog to my pages to better publish and track my training. That

is this evening's task!

Thanks for your tips everyone on nutrition and training - which I am

building into my routines, along with trying to remember to take the Vitamin C

to build strength, and possibly some MBTs to stretch my Achilles while out and

about walking (not training though I have New Balance with orthotics for

that)...

All the best from rainy London,

Donna
