GOOD LUCK CONNOR!
Don’t forget, G Live’s Connor Harper is running the London Marathon this weekend. Here’s an update from Connor!
“Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me along the way. You’ve helped get me to 85% of my fundraising total of £2,000! I’m feeling the love (and the nerves in equal measure).
“I recently completed my longest run of 18 miles, although this was supposed to be 20. Apparently, my body decided that 18 was quite sufficient, thank you very much! I’m not entirely sure where I’m pulling those last 8.2 miles from on race day, but I’m trusting they’ll magically appear through some combination of adrenaline, crowd support, and sheer panic.
“A massive thanks to Trafalgar Theatres for sponsoring my shorts! I’ll be sporting a TUT logo on both the front and back of my legs. Nothing says ‘athlete’ quite like branded running shorts that will be gradually soaked in sweat (and tears).
“In case my race attire was somehow too subtle, you can track my small blue dot as it crawls across London by downloading the TCS London Marathon app and searching for my bib number 71903.
“Thanks again for all your support- it means the world. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go and eat inhuman amounts of pasta before Sunday. Long live the carb load!”
