I 've got  a "good for age" place in London and yes I also have a "big birthday" four weeks before!  After  having done my first ever marathon , Edinburgh, in 2015 and then  3 marathons in both  2016 and 2017, ( last one Chester ,running in the England Masters Team, and setting a big PB,) and having a chat with the superb coach that helps me, I was not sure whether to have a little "marathon sabbatical" until the Autumn of  this year. However following a recent conversation I had with the awesome Marilyn Lawrie, during which she happened to mention that both she and her husband Andrew were passionate about the Kent MS Therapy Centre , and went on to mention all the amazing support that it seeks to provide for those having to bear the burden of this disease , it  got me thinking  of how places in London are so difficult to get and so I started thinking of maybe using this "good for age" place and  running London and making the pain of those last few miles count (yes I can cruise along rather nicely until that last bit!) by doing a bit of fundraising . 

So if anyone would like to donate a few pounds the thought that I am raising some funds for the MS Therapy Centre will make any  discomfort in those last few miles more bearable. I intend to really enjoy the whole experience of London . I will probably start my training in the last week of January  and get a few of those long runs in- I happen to have a super  coach that made it all so simple for  me to prepare  for Chester  so I shall seek some guidance from him .

 LOVE LIFE ,LOVE RUNNING.
