Teign PE Yr 9 Barcelona trip

Mr Mercy entered himself into the ballot for the London marathon for the first time ever... He didn't really think he would actually get a place, as most people don't seem to have this luck... Turns out Mr Mercy isn't most people and got lucky and got a place in the London marathon....

I started my training last August when I got my place in the marathon... With the birth of second child, training was reduced from September up to Christmas, where I found myself running most Friday nights and then on a Sunday morning. I did my first official half marathon October last year and recorded a time around 1:55....

Training really picked up or the distances did from End of December onwards, running 11 + plus miles every weekend. My longest runs to date have been 17,18,20 & 22 mile runs! As I have read, the training is the actual marathon not the marathon itself. The marathon itself is the celebration of the training.... Lets see what Sunday brings!

If you are happy to make any sized donation, it will go towards helping to reduce the over cost for our students trip to Barcelona in the summer. Thank you.
