My story

Why am I running in the Brighton Marathon for the charity CSW?

The answer is simply that I was asked to.  I am not: an athlete, a runner or jogger, fit, young ..   .  However, by God's grace, I have a body that works and I am pleased to try my best.

CSW is a charity called Christian Solidarity Worldwide.  They try to help Christians around the world who are suffering injustice.

I started jogging in June 2011 but was stuck at 2 miles for a long time.  Oh dear, the marathon is 26 miles!

Jan 2012: able to jog 5 miles in an hour. My confidence is boosted.  I will start AND complete the marathon.

Jan 2012: weather has been subzero and I have been wearing a sweater, gloves and hat.  Its too cold to run.  'Jogged' on the spot in my lounge for an hour.

Feb 2012: emailed friends asking for sponsorship.

Feb 2012: joined a running club in central London.  First time I have trained with others.  Beautiful running in central London and it snowed.  However, I was the slowest in the group and couldn't complete the route.  My confidence has sunk.
