Some might think a marathon isn't a challenge for me any more after taking part in 8 marathons in the last 10 years. However I have been plagued with several injuries for more than a year, so getting back to run one would be a great achievement for me! I want to build it up slowly and am planning to run a 10k and a 21.1k before the big one:

- 27/05/12: BUPA 10k London

- 07/10/12: Royal Parks Half Marathon London

- 28/10/12: Frankfurt Marathon

I am doing this as part of the Sanofi Inspires Challenge in aid for Teenage Cancer Trust, the great charity who imporves the lives of teenagers and young adults with this dreadful disease.
