Update: 19th March 2009.
Well the race is over and I managed to complete it in 2 hours, 1 minute. Whilst I didn't get under 2 hours I did beat last years time AND raised £205 so it was all worth it. The money will go towards TOLFA's long awaited quarantine kennel block.
Thank you to everyone who sponsored me and made this possible.

This will be my second Hastings Half Marathon. I completed my first half marathon last year in 2 hours and 2 minutes, and am attempting to better that and beat the 2 hour mark.
Training is going well and now it's time for all of you to help me in my quest to raise £200 for the Tree of Life for Animals, a fantastic Indian animal charity that I visited in 2005 (and set up by our good friend Rachel).
They need all the money they can to help alleviate the suffering of thousands of animals a year.
Despite working 24/7 in tough conditions - everyone who visits them agrees it's worth it - as they make such a difference to the lives of the animals they help and the locals they employ.
Thank you for sponsoring me. Remember every penny counts so don't forget to tick the Gift Aid box if you're eligible. It doesn't cost you or the charity anything.
