Initially running a 10k was something that was nothing more than a bit of filler on my '30 Before 30 List', and indeed all things being equal, I should complete this 10km a month before my 30th birthday.

Now, however, the run feels a lot more significant. Since starting my training, I've become more focussed on this, and have devoted more time and effort on this than anything else on my list. Even more importantly, the Longford Trust is a charity very close to my heart: focussing on the rehabilitation and education of young people who have been in prison.

Thank you for any donation. I'll do my best to cross the finish line as quickly as I can!

Also, Jeremy is also running this, but since he has already done a marathon, he felt a bit sheepish setting up a JustGiving page, therefore he's tagging along to mine.
