So I have decided, as some of you will know, to run/attempt my first ever marathon and decided to do it a little more interesting than the UK - so am off to Barcelona. Not only am I having to run further than I ever thought I would want to all my training is during the UK winter as the marathon is in March. So it is like a double challenge. Motivated to training during our worse time of the year for weather to then run just over 26 miles....

I have decided that I need a bit more motivation than seeing if I can do it and am running on behalf of the Albert Kennedy Trust, they support homeless LGBT young people so please motivate me by donating to support them! Find out more about them here: http://www.akt.org.uk/
