One down, one to go! Brighton marathon complete in 3:51:09. Full race report HERE.

For the low down on the whys and what fors, check out my guestblog for Freedom from Torture. And thanks for stopping by :)

Even though in this age multi-day marathoning is becoming increasingly common, I can assure you, running a marathon will never be an easy task for me. And running two marathons in two weeks is borderline insane. But I think I can do it, with enough training and the right mindset. More importantly, I think I can use the achievement to raise funds for a thoroughly deserving charity, Freedom From Torture and one which, for personal reasons, is close to my heart.

So dig deep and I promise that, barring severe injury, in April 2012, I will complete the Brighton Marathon and the Greater Manchester Marathon. I'm not promising any world records or even personal bests, but I am promising completion. Whatever it takes.

Thanks,

Vee
