Story

I have gone mad and am running another marathon this year!

Yes -  it is true - I think I have officially crossed the line into insanity! 

Not content with running 1 marathon a year, I now have signed up to run another one!! This time...in New York!

On the 2nd November 2008 I will be joining thousands of others and running across the magical city that is New York! (Although I am not too sure if I will still be using words like 'magical' after 26.2 miles!!)

London was just out of this world- and I would like to say thank you to everyone who supported me- it really does mean a lot. And I am very sorry that I am asking you to delve into your pockets - again!! But this is for an absolutely fantastic cause!

Get Kids going are a charity that dedicate themselves to helping disabled children take part in sport, and providing them with the tools and support that they need to get on and achieve their dreams. I really am privileged to be running for them- seeing as I am such a fitness fanatic myself, I know how much sports and fitness can do for someone. It is a massive part of my life, and to be able to help disabled children go on and become champions and record holders is brilliant! So - I hope that you dont mind giving what ever you can to help me with this.

My training is as intense as ever! I managed to take off 38 mins from my time this year in London (for those of you who i have not gone on about it to- last year I did 5.38, this year I did 4.59.56!). For New York I  am looking to do around the same sort of time, but I know this will be more of a challenge as i have heard it is quite hilly! But, I will give it my all and just go for it!!
