I blame it all on my husband. He entered me into the New York Marathon and by the time I heard I hadn't got a place, I was hooked on the idea.
I've walked a marathon.
I've rowed a marathon.
But, by heck, I've never run one.
Why would you?
It's a chuffing long way. 26.2 miles actually (blame the royal family for the odd distance). But I'm doing it for charity - the National Osteoporosis Society.
Because 1 in 2 women and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 will break a bone mainly because of osteoporosis.
1,150 people are dying every month in the UK as a result of hip fractures.
Osteoporosis costs the NHS and government £5 million a day.
The National Osteoporosis Society is the only UK charity dedicated to improving the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.
.. and they're a great bunch of people.
So please sponsor me. Many many thanks.
.......now where did the dog go with my trainers.....?
