My personal message:

This will be my fourth marathon in the last four years since I first started running in 2001 after watching the London Marathon on TV while I was ill. I have been running ever since and will continue to do so.

As I approach 40 later this year, I wanted to run in a special race and was lucky enough to get a charity place running for Shelter in the London Marathon, Shelter are also forty  too this year. So we both have something to celebrate.

I am hoping to get nearer the elusive four hours time this year,something I have yet to beat but I am geting closer each time, last year I did the Edinburgh Marathon in 4hrs 22 mins.

With your sponsorship I will be able to focus on my current strict sub 4 hr training programme and you will help get me out  along the beachfront on those lonely cold dark wet evening runs.

This year I am also running in personal memory of my friend, Jeff Knowles , who sadly died just before christmas while out for a run. I last ran with Jeff in the Aberdeen 10K in May 2005. With Jeffs fitness and competitve nature, we both managed to get under 45mins, a time I have been trying desperately to get under for four years and which I had never achieved until that day . I will always remenber that run as being a special one.

Thanks for your help

George
