I am running the marathon in this year's Richmond RUNFEST on 13 September. My place in the race is a charity entry supporting Age UK Richmond, a local independent charity offering vital help and support to local older people; they provide a wide range of services to people in later life. They define this as "anyone over the age of 55", which I have to admit now includes me... Anyway, please donate to my campaign and support this worthy cause.

This photo is of me in last year's Richmond Marathon, where I did 3:08:24 (much better than my 3:54 18 months earlier). My longer term goal is ultimately to run sub 3 hours. Though after 3 months off for injury at the start of the year -- not to mention I'm another year older -- I'll be pleased with 3:15 or better.
