Story

Hi All

Thanks for taking the time to view my page. I have been very fortunate to get a bonus bond place with Cancer Research to run the 2010 Virgin London Marathon. I am aiming to raise over £3000 for the charity. It's been a pleasure being part of the Bristol Hipodrome team that has raised over £50,000 in 2009, now I want to do a little bit more personally to raise funds for this fantastic charity.

 

As well as the London Marathon on the 25th of April I have now completed  4 seperate half marathons races, along with some monster training runs in the build up to London, trainings gone well, but I need to slow down now in order to pace myself properly around London. I really want to go under 4 hours. My half marathon times suprised me which are below, but I have been flat out to get to them, there is no way I'd get around London at the same pace.

21st Feburary - Brighton Half Marathon 1hr 40 Min

7th March - Bath Half Marathon 1 Hr 38 Min

14th March - Silverstone Half Marathon 1hr 44min

27th March - Prague Half Marathon 1hr 41Min

Big thank you to Tony who is collecting for me at the venue and the people back home who are collecting for me as well. This money will be added in at the end.

 

Cheers, Gary
