Story
When you're in your fifties and you're talking with a friend who you went to school with and he's just run his third marathon, what do you do? Obvious isn't it - you say you're going to run a marathon too. Well at the time I thought it was obvious.
Anyway, fast forward 10 months and the time for talking about it is over. The training is nearly finished and the race in Barcelona is just a week away.
I'm ready for 26 miles of pain and suffering that I signed up for but I will feel much better if I know I'm doing it in aid of a deserving cause.
The cause I'm hoping to raise money for is Holbrook Animal Rescue a charity I became a volunteer for a few months ago. Owning a dog myself I know how much work and money is needed to look after them, even more so with dogs that are strays or have been abandoned.
So thank you for reading this and please donate whatever you can

6 years agoWell we're back in the UK now - so cold after the high teens of Barcelona. Thank you everyone for your support and congratulations, it really helped me feel better when I was hurting after finishing. The photo is only an hour in so I'm still feeling fresh - by 22 miles I wasn't smiling anymore! I'm feeling okay now, just normal aches and pains - just don't ask me yet if I'd run a marathon again. Again, many thanks for your donations and support. Dale
