About Me
- Rach's MdS
- This blog is to track my journey to the Marathon des Sables in 2009. It will cover all my training, decisions about my kit, nutrition etc. It will also cover issues such as sanity (or the lack of it) and my general everyday mutterings.... You have been warned! I'm 35 years old, and a mum of two girls (aged 7 and 5). I started running (I use that term very loosely) when I'd had my second daughter. I came across the Marathon des Sables completely by accident and it fascinated me from day 1. Over the next four years I kept going back, having another look, wondering whether little old me could take on such a massive challenge. After 4 years of looking I took the plunge. Because I'm not a natural runner (more of a plodder really), I am hoping to walk the MdS. After (very briefly) discussing with family and poor long suffering husband, I sat at my computer, and entered the 2009 race (back in March 2007!). After spending 18 months on the waitlist, I finally got the call I've been waiting for on 12/09/08! I'll be raising money for Epilepsy Action, as my youngest daughter suffers with epilepsy. So here goes....

This is great, Rach. Looking forwward to reading all the gory details, and how you feel and look. All the very best for this long year of training, for a most amazing goal!!! Can't wait to meet you in the desert.
Your running friend,
Craig
Look forward to reading about your progress and the day you move from waitlist to defo list. Having such a good cause to run for can only be good for your motivation.
We also need someone to keep a tight rein on Craig otherwise all the wine will be done before stage 3!
