I'm rather foolishly running the Paris Marathon on April the 11th.
Those
of you that know me well, will now be saying quite rightly to
yourselves "But you're the least sporty person ever." You would be
right. Those that went to school with me, may have also been partners
in crime as we cheated on the cross country run, hiding by the 6th form
entrance watching the leaders run to the finish line, waiting a
believable amount of time and then running through pretending we'd run
the whole way. I promise not to cheat this time, I will finish it in
the proper way and hopefully it won't kill me. But it might.
My
Dad has run lots of marathons and usually in very good times indeed.
His fastest was 3 hours and 20 mins. He's running it too this year and
I thought it would be nice to run it together. Although, he'll be
running it about an hour or so faster, maybe more, gulp. So, not
exactly 'together.'
I'm running for Great Ormond Street, which
is just at the end of my road and I see first hand what a great job
they do there. It would be lovely if you could sponsor me, this will
also ensure that I won't back out as I'd feel too guilty. What better
motivation!
Thank you.
Jess
