<p>I should have run the 2011 marathon, but got injured. So I'm back for 2012 to finish what started as a 14 minute run followed by a lot of coughing and spluttering and me sweating on my sofa with my head between my legs declaring 'I can't even run 2 miles let alone 26 miles (think there may have been a few swear words in there somewhere). Coming back after the injury has been tough, but I hope it will ultimately be more satisfying when I finally cross the line. The sponsorship that I raised last year really has spurred me on...I am now trying to raise a little more for my charity, who are a great charity supporting young people in care. I spent some of my own childhood growing up in care and know how much support is needed out there, so please give what you can.</p>
