Welcome back...

As some of you may know I spent 2015 pretty much just exercising and raising money for charity.

I took part in various events, which included running every day, taking part in numerous events such as 10k's, half marathons and the Chester Marathon. Cycling Lands End to John O'Groats, Tough Mudder and a Charity Boxing match.

At the start of the year I signed up to the Manchester marathon which is scheduled for the 10th April 2016. My aim was to train for this in hope I could run a sub 3:05:00 time, in order to qualify for next years London Marathon.

However, I have now been given an opportunity to run in the London Marathon scheduled for Sunday 24th April 2016. I will be running this for the charity 'Revitalise'.

Revitalise is a national charity providing respite care in a holiday setting for disabled people and carers for over 50 years. Revitalise also offers inspirational opportunities for volunteers through one of the largest and most diverse volunteering programmes of any UK charity.

Revitalise was founded in 1963 as the Winged Fellowship Trust (WFT). In 2004 WFT became Vitalise and in 2014 Vitalise became Revitalise.We currently run three accessible holiday centres in Chigwell in Essex, Southampton and Southport.Our mission is to enable disabled people in the UK to access essential breaks with care, and provide inspirational opportunities for volunteers.We firmly believe that disabled people should have the same rights, freedoms, responsibilities and quality of life as those without disabilities.

So now am I not only running the 1 marathon, I have 2 in the space of 2 weeks. Over the next couple of months I will push myself harder than I did last year in any of the events I took part in. I will be covering nearly 500 miles in my marathon plan, not including the 2 marathons. This took me 6 months to complete last year, so it will be hard but well worth it in the end.

Realistically I want to run both marathons in less than 3 hours, we shall see how that turns out in April. This means I will need to improve by over 27 minutes on my last marathon run.
