As most of you know I’ve always been active and like to exercise, in particular outdoors. This has never however applied to running. But like many others, lockdown forced it on me and in Jan 2021 I started running with a bootcamp mate Joanne, which somehow resulted in me joining her for my very first Half Marathon (Ealing) in Sept 21 – hardest thing I have ever done but loved it. We then did it again in 2022 and I shaved off 9mins, but didn’t enjoy it as much!

After which I thought I’d just stick with bootcamp - but somehow, I continued to run. Turns out it’s quite handy, as you can do it anywhere – like around and around on a deck of ship in Antarctica (had to get that in 😄).

Since I felt I def had another Half in me, decided to do this one for a good cause. Very sadly in the last few years I have had family and friends effected by this awful illness, but I have also heard so much re the amazing work that the charities in this area do to support in various ways.

So, I am running the London Landmarks Half in April, with another bootcamp mate Zeke for Macmillan Cancer Support UK.

I know times are hard so please don’t feel obliged, but whatever you can spare will be much appreciated. I promise to run as fast as I am able, while chatting and possibly taking a few selfies with the Landmarks!
