  • I've done it !!

    I finally completed my journey at the wonderful Mt Cook marathon 42km in 5hr45min on 7th October. It was perfect running conditions, the wonderful scenery certainly helped me to ignore the pain, I gave it my all out there, my knee injury did not stop me. So, with a total of 9 half marathons and one full marathon completed, I think I've earned a bit of a rest now. I would like to thank all you wonderful donors to my page to support dog watch, the page will stay open until the end of October.

  • 3 weeks to go

      18 September 2023

    I've now completed 9 half marathons in total, which I'm really stoked about. Had a minor setback this week trying to compete my first 30km plus run with a small knee problem and had to abandon. I'm not letting this stop me, can't disappoint everyone. I'm having to change my style of training this week whilst I rest my knee. Only 3 weeks to go, I WILL be at Mount cook, I WILL complete this !!! Thank you for all your support.

  • Training update

      20 August 2023

    My training is going well for the full marathon, it's hard going but the thought of helping the doggies keeps me going. I've now completed in total 8 half marathons, I should be well on the way to 10 before the marathon starts - its only 48 days away !! A great big thanks to all of you who have donated, it means such a lot to me and dog watch.

    On sat 14 May I completed my 5th half marathon. Was tough going off road which I'm not used to.

    I've decided to up the game and I've entered a full marathon 42km in October. Your support and help would be greatly appreciated by Dog Watch and myself. This will be a big challenge physically and mentally, but I can do it !! I'll update the page with how training is going....
