Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the London Marathon 2010 to raise money for The Avenues Youth Project, a place were young people are able to express themselves by engaging in creative activities. The Marathon gives me the chance to express myself through sporting competition. Training is going well even though the weather has been dreadful. Racing has been disappointing of late, although I did manage a 1:25 half-marathon last week. This weekend it's 3 laps of Richmond Park. Just returned from Richmond Park - ran 18 miles comfortably, and no injuries. Took drinks on board from the boot of my car on each lap. Legs are a little bit sore. At least there was some sun on my back! Took a tumble in the New Forest yesterday when I tripped over a tree root!
