Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
This year's big challenge for me is to complete the Glasgow Half marathon. First time I will have done this in the 'over 60's' age group!
Usually Spud the Spaniel has been helping my training but will be waiting at the finish on Sunday 2nd October. Hopefully the crowd cheering will be a good distraction and if I can get under 2 hours 10....job done.
