So..... I am running a marathon!....

This started as a little bit of a ' I want to do a little bit more and be healthier'. Hours walking around my village in the day and night looking like a bit of a weirdo trying to get a little further, a little quicker and not quite so 'round'...After a few months it became clear that the only way to progress from hours and hours of walking was to start 'jogging'....The 5k came and went then the 10k just happened one day! I had always said that I had no intention of doing the marathon but when I applied to the ballot expecting to have no chance (so it would be ok) on results day I received an email saying I had been successful! Immediately I started to panic.... I thought that it would be a bit of a mountain to climb but F**k it!....if I can go from struggling to walk up the street to actually running it might just be ok!

I didnt have to run for a charity as and decided that I would just do it for myself but after some thinking it became clear that people would actually pay a little money to see me suffering! The post and request for sponsorship is a little late but hoping to get some of my very generous and giving friends to throw a couple of quid my way! Especially for this absolutely fantastic cause! 

Please dig deep!  I will try my hardest and definitely hurt myself along the way to make sure I do your money proud! 

A little about the Dog Hotel below

As a kid growing up in Cardiff and on my way to school I would pass Cardiff dogs home all the time. Right now the Rescue Hotel supports up to 800 stray, abandoned and unwanted dogs every year. They ensure these dogs receive any veterinary treatment they may need, assist with behavior training and provide any additional home comforts a dog may need to make their stay at the hotel as comfortable as possible before they are adopted in to a new loving home.

Anything you give is important and can help this brilliant cause!
