Story

 I am running the London Marathon - well I have a place! Running at this point is debatable!!
 
I wanted to do something I don't think I can do; and I wanted to raise as much money as possible for my chosen charity - breakthrough cancer UK.
Cancer is touching all too many of us; and will continue to do so unless we support these amazing charities who battle everyday to find a cure and help those fighting cancer.
 
The decision to run the London marathon, in order to achieve these goals was perhaps one made in haste; I cannot run. None the less the place is confirmed and now I must get a plan in place to complete it! In my blog I will be bitterly honest about my training and experiences, in the hope that people may see what a challenge it is I'm undertaking and sponsor me. You can find my blogg at http://runninginheels2010londonmarathon.blogspot.com/

Here's the first post as a taster:
 
So Running for beginners.... and when I say beginner I mean beginner - so far in my life I barely for a bus let alone have the ability to run 26.2 miles; I walked at least 3/4's of the race for life course and the only form of running shoe I own is a lovely pair of Emma Hope Gold snake skin daps bought for my wedding day - not to wear down the aisle - to have breakfast in - so probably the best place to start trainers....
