Story

A year ago if someone had asked me what I was going to be doing on the 25th April 2010 I would not for one moment have considered answering 'the London Marathon'. But here I am and for those who know me from when I was younger I'm sure you'd agree that you wouldn't have guessed it either.

Now the cold months are behind us (wishful thinking) it’s time to hit the streets with a new vigour.

Being based in Bristol so far I’ve jogged around Bradley Stoke, Stoke Gifford, Emersons Green and now my training has moved to Filton. Mixing it up over the last year has helped to keep it fresh and interesting and I now know a lot about the local geography.

So wish me luck as I enter the last month of training prior to the big event and see the link below for more information about the good work that IET Connect does. http://www.ietconnect.org/index.html
