Hi everyone, I'm running the London marathon next year for mind which is a mental health charity. It's honestly been a dream of mine to run the London marathon, take in the sights and hear the crowds.
Im running this marathon in memory of my dad who passed away on friday 15th march 2024, i want to make him proud
As some of you know I have depression and anxiety, i also get panic attacks. On a daily basis I struggle with my mood and put in a smile for the world. If I'm anxious then I feel sick with nerves which doesn't help my emetophobia.
I go running as a therapy method, In the past I have ran 5k, 10k and done a few half marathons, I have tried to do the London marathon virtually but I only managed to do 16 miles due to an injury. I have a half marathon coming up in a few days.
It's definitely going to be a day to remember as it will be my birthday on the day I run the marathon. What better way to bring in your birthday and run a marathon.
My aim is to finish in about 7 hours, I'm not a fast runner and I know that. I run about 15 minutes a mile and who knows with my training I might speed up.
