Thanks very much for taking the time to visit my page.

I just turned 40 (shhh!) and have not run since the Great North Run of 2000. Since then the pounds have piled on and now I have 2 young children to run about after, and that's not getting any easier ...  

So its a real challenge to get fit in time to run this great 10K race, but I've got the bit between my teeth and will train hard to reach the goal. The race is on Sunday October 7th 2012.

I would like very much to raise some money along the way, for Rokpa overseas projects, who do incredible work. In Yushu in Qinghai there was a terrible earthquake in 2010, and the town suffered very badly. Rokpa's projects there still really need as much help as they can get ...
