Some of you might know this, but running the London Marathon has been a dream of mine since before I started my fitness journey. In 2008, I made a sign for my cubicle at my desk job with the letters saying "London Marathon" thinking this was a dream so far away and out of reach. As truly a dream come true, I'm registered to run this event not just for me but for so many others.
