Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I first started running after the birth of my third (and final!) baby Emmie who is now three. My first tentative steps on the treadmill at my local gym soon got me hooked. I will never forget the euthoria of completing my first half mile of non stop running! followed by my first mile, 2nd, 3rd...untill I finally plucked up the courage to run in the great outdoors:)

I completed The belvoir Castle 10k for the first time in October 2011 in 58 mins and the buzz I got from crossing that finish line was amazing! I took part again last year and managed to kock almost 5 mins off my time which i am incredibly proud of..

However I love a challenge, those who know me know that i am highly competitive and work much better with a stick to motivate me so have decided this years 'Stick' is going to be (drumroll please)

The Loughborough Half 2013

bit scary but I am a determined little lady! Please please please dig deep to give me even more to live up to then the challenge of the race itself, so if i give up I will not only be letting myserlf down but those of you who have taken the time to read this drivel and donate.

It is a brilliant charity, helping those living under the shadow of abuse. A cause, i am sure you will all agree, that is worth pushing myself for

Thankyou X
