Ok, here we go again. My third attempt at only doing a marathon once. I’d like to say there’s a new angle to this but it’s just me dragging myself around the usual Brighton Marathon route and distance but, as before, I’ll be raising funds for the wonderful Alzheimer’s Society.

I can’t pretend it gets any easier doing the training runs in all weather and then the main event itself, even having done it twice before - it’s still a great challenge and I hope you’ll agree it’s for a super cause and donate whatever you can.

I’d like to think Dad is looking down on me saying “bloody fool”…
