My story
Hi guys,
I'm going to be running the London Marathon in 5 months time. It's for a great charity, West London Action for Children. Check them out here: www.wlac.org.uk/
I'm aiming to raise over £2000 for this cause. The main reason you should give money is that these families and kids really need it! If you need more superficial/amusing reasons, please find them below.
1. I was so busy in my last job I have not been to the gym/running in 5 months.
2. When I did play tennis, I managed to sprain my ankle in the warm-down so badly 2 months later it's still a little swollen (probably shouldn't be running on it-- whoops!)
c. I hate running, and every run entails an hour long battle in my head against the option of staying on the sofa and eating soft-chew cookies from Sainsburys
iv. It's frickin cold outside
. Training will entail a massive cutdown on nights out! Sponsor me for staying in and watching dvds for 20 Saturday nights (actually that sounds pretty good).
Would be grateful for all/any donations-- many thanks for your help.
