<p>*UPDATE*</p> <p>I completed the marathon in 6 hours 24! It was very tough, I had not trained anywhere near enough, and the second half took me almost twice as long as the first. I would never have gotten to the finish line if it wasn't for all the support and donations I received, so thank you so much everyone! xxx</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>OH HAI!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyone that knows me knows that I have not been able to run for more than 20 seconds since I was like 10 years old.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I decided it was high time I did something about my woeful level of physical fitness, and started running.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I have now stupidly signed up to run the 2012 Brighton Marathon, (that's 26.2 miles, or 42km bruv) and even more stupidly I have elected to raise money for the charity I work for: Resources for Autism.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This means I can't back out or everyone is going to think I hate kids and am evil and lazy.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Resources for Autism do fantastic work with children and adults with autism, and work with their families and carers to provide support, information and advice. Please visit their website, <a href="http://www.resourcesforautism.org.uk">www.resourcesforautism.org.uk </a>to find out more about the wonderful service they provide.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I really will be grateful for any donation at all, so even if you just want to donate &pound;1 it would be much appreciated, and if enough of you do it I will SMASH my fundraising target, Tempa T style.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Many thanks for reading, please take pity on my poor feet and give me some monies!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Jacqueline xxx</p>
