Ok, so you may not put either of us in the category of "athelete", "runner" "fitness fanatic" or "all round sportsperson" but we are determined and that has shown in our dedication to our training thus far.

We decided shortly after Christmas to do a New Year challenge...a half marathon was the choice.  With 3 years of foot trouble behind her and a trip to Peru to walk the Inca trail in September Sally wanted to prove that she could put her mind to getting fit and challenge herself with something that doesn't come naturally...running!  Sarah her willing accomplice agreed to get fit with Sally and so the training began in ernest.

With not enough time to train for the Stafford Half, Sarah suggested the Stoke Half...so there we have it, the challenge was borne. 

At the same time we wanted to raise some funds for a much needed local cause Arch.  Our friend Emma works there and does a sterling job bringing in funds so this is our way of helping her, helping the people of Stoke that need that support and being able to raise awareness of the charity.
