Having run a few half marathons now, this year's big challenge for me is to compete in a full marathon - specifically the Bournemouth Marathon.

It seems a long way off now - but with nutrition and hydration issues to consider, I can see it is going to be a busy Summer preparing for this challenge.

I am raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support and will be very grateful for all donations.
