Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Yes, you have landed on the right page. This year I have the privilege to be Sheena Dayman's legs. In effect you are sponsoring my legs and her brains. What a winning combination!!!!
Running the London Marathon is not something I gave a lot of thought to in the past couple of years, in fact, you could say it never actually crossed my mind.
I love running, yes!!! But in a once-I-dragged-my-lazy-bum-out-the-door-slowly-plotting-along kinda way. In admit it, I'm a closet runner, hiding behind layers of sweat wicking material.
Racing seems foreign to me. Too many people and each and everyone faster than me...... What was that, the slow tortoise wins the race, you say? Well, not in this case.
BUT, in the name of charity I have decided to improve on my sneaky-every-once-in-a-while slow runs, and become the racing machine that I desperately hope I can be.
Long gone are the pillow hugging lie ins on weekends and late nights sipping wine in cozy pubs. From now on its lycra, sweat and most definitely tears.
If you feel even just a little sorry for me, or want to see me suffer through fartlek and hill sessions, please make sure to donate even just a little bit. I will be ever grateful, and knowing that I'm doing something worth while makes all the difference on those cold January mornings.
Until then I would like to say forgive me, chocolate. I will miss you dearly, in 4 months we shall meet again.
Your forever faithful admirer
