Hello Everyone,

Since I ran my first half marathon earlier this year (and still being here to tell the tale) I decided the take the plunge and take on the mightly challenge of running the London Marathon, which is on 26th April 2009.  Like many people, I watched the marathon on TV last year and was so inspired I decided it was time to enter. 

I am now approximately half way through training - I have completed some interested runs so far - one which ncluded running through puddles up to my thighs, plus some pretty icy runs as of late!  Although I can now complete 13 mile runs there are many miles of running still ahead of me.  But I am now stocked up with jelly bellies (they are the thing to eat -honest!) amd have my Ipod and nike training for company!

I am running for Shelter and my target is to raise a minimum of £2000.  All funds that I raise will be matched £4£ by Barclays - so think of it that you are getting double for your money!

Thanks in advance for your kind donation.

Bye for now, Ellie  x x x
