I'm running in this year's Edinburgh Marathon which is taking place virtually. That means I'm setting off on my own on Sunday 30 May at 10am and completing 26.2 miles solo.

This is my first marathon and completing it will be a fairly big achievement for me. I want to do the charity proud, so I've been putting in the miles since December, so I'll hopefully get round in under four hours.
