So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye....
1. Having written a page a day diary for the entirety of my teenage years, I never really doubted my ability to keep my blog going for a little over two years. What I didn't know was whether anyone would want to read it, or stick with it, and some of you have done both. Thank you.
2. Thanks too to everyone who supported my fundraising. There are children who are drinking cleaner water, having a better childhood or facing a brighter future because of your generosity.
3. Am I glad I did it? Absolutely. Will I run another? Unlikely. Was it everything I wanted it to be? Yes and no. What next? A tidy house, an A Level in Textiles and a 22 minute parkrun!!!! At least one of which will take two years - but fear not I shan't be documenting it, not least because there is a distinct possibility that at least one of them might not happen!
4. But first I want to spend some time with my family for the few months that we have left before C leaves for Uni. Actually I'm not sure that my most precious sons will relish their mother's need for increased family time, in which case I'm off to be with my beloved Mr L before his marathon training begins!
5. I am so fortunate to be blessed with a wonderful family and fabulous friends - the past two years would have been considerably different without your support and company along the way. You know who you are, and I hope you know what you mean to me.
Parkrun to Marathon in 750 days (a journey of 1000 miles) MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
