The Brighton Marathon is getting closer now only two more days! I received my running vest this week which is yellow with my name and SAVI logo are in black. My friend said that I will look like a wasp at least I will stand out in the crowd I hope! Unexpectedly I was on BBC Surrey Radio this week that was exciting. David and I met last Sunday to do a short walk around the Virginia Water Lake just to put my lead into practice! We have a strap attached to our wrists so that I don’t go wandering off. I find it an effort carrying my white cane for 26.2 miles in one hand, it would be too tiring on my arms so I need to change hands occasionaly. We have to practice swopping the lead from side to side whilst on the move, so we have developed a technique called the sliding door. We have now perfected this movement to a fine art and we are now considering going on Strictly Come Dancing!
