I have been totally inspired by friends and family who have knocked out marathons in recent years - you know who you are! I hope I can do one too. I'm running for all of you, my lovely friends - you are my family : )  - and I'm also running to remember Mum and Dad, who I'm sure I'll be having words with at mile 22! I thought a marathon would be fittingly 'big' ish. Training has been a lovely way to get to know my new home town, and running by the sea makes me feel very lucky. My knees however, don't feel very lucky, but they'll just have to do what they're told ; ) 

A big kiss for each of you -> X ... I'll be thinking of you on the way round, and I'll see some of you in Brighton on the 6th April, it's going to be one of the best cold pints I've ever had!
