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.  Watching so many people who are in much worst positions than me complete it I did not feel like a had any excuse not to do it.

Chris, my boyfriend will also be running, although he is likely to be at least two hours ahead of me!  We are 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!

So this is it the training starts now-Ill keep you posted!

Thanks in advance for your kind donation.

Bye for now, Ellie  x x x
