I'm running the London MARATHON!

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I could run further than my local 3 mile loop (and I'm still not sure I can run an actual road marathon) but after challenging myself to 'just go a bit further' each time I've ended up here and I'm so very nervous, but also very excited to try and complete the longest run of my life! This is going to hurt...

I'm being spurred on by the fact that I will be raising money for a wonderful charity that means so much to me - the South West Coast Path Association. Living just a stone's throw away from the coast path, walking (and more recently, running) on the path has always been a big part of my life, and getting out on these paths has helped massively with both my mental and physical health over the years. I know it has helped so many others with their mental health too.

Did you know that for every MILE, it costs £1500 a year to keep the coast path open, clearly signed and in good shape? So by sponsoring me you're really sponsoring your favourite mile of the coast path!

I'll be posting my training & fundraising updates on instagram - follow my journey here: @lauraevelynnunn
