Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

Those of you that know me will be aware that on my daily gym visits I typically avoid the treadmill like the plague and head straight for the weights area. The reason is simple - I have a First Class Masters degree in Cardiophobia. Five minutes on the cross-trainer and I feel like Garfield trying to climb the Empire State building. 

HOWEVER, in the name of a fantastic cause I have made the decision to cast my prejudices aside and throw myself in at the deep end by entering a ridiculously long, painful and utterly vile race that may well result in my untimely demise. Have I done a half marathon first? No. A 10k? No. A 5k park run? I'd rather stay in bed. But all this is about to change. 23rd October marked 20 weeks out from race day and the start of a gruelling training plan to destroy all my hard earned muscle and turn me into a 'cardio bunny'. Yuck.

Anyway, I would be really, really grateful if you could spare any change at all - even a few pounds would be very much appreciated! On 12th March I will be pushing my body and mental stamina to the absolute limit and the more I raise the more inspired I will be to push though the infamous Run Fatboy Run wall and smash my target time of 4 hours! (Disclaimer: liable to increase before race day).

Oh and one more thing.. London is SO 2k15 so I'm doing it in Barcelona! I sincerely hope the reports of a 60m hill climb right at the end are a joke.. Though the thought of infinite paella will spur me on!
