Usually I'm a solo runner, but after almost ten years of jogging down Widdop Road, I've somehow been roped into running the London Landmarks Half Marathon on 7 April with some school chums and thousands of other people. We're all turning 50 so obviously(?) it seemed like a good idea!

We're running for a great cause. The Samaritans are here every day and night of the year for anyone struggling to cope. They make sure people have somewhere to turn and support when they need it most.
