I said I would never run more than 10KM and now as well as the 4 Event Half Marathons I’ve completed, I’m now running a marathon…realistically my one and only unless I get into London as the training is taking over my brain. Cannot say it’s quite taking over my life as there seems to be a correlation with marathon training and increased social activities / alcohol consumption. But hey, if I can complete my sub-4h target with minimal impact on my life then all the better. Life is too short to give up the things you love.

Please pray for sunshine as I’ve (luckily) managed to escape rain in training and therefore I’m a bit scared of an unexpected April shower! It’s not an April Fools although I’m guessing the event organisers were relieved that the first Sunday of April falls on the 2nd and not the 1st!

Im running for Cancer Research UK as too many friends and family seem to be suffering with this horrendous disease. I have a humble target of £500 so anything you can give, even it’s the equivalent to one coffee would mean a lot to me and the charity.
