Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last November, I applied for and was given a place in the Marathon. Having done little exercise for the past 25 years and topping in at 18.5 stone, the challenge of completing the 26.2 miles seemed immense. 

However training started in November with brisk walks with the dog. I am now running half marathon distances and have covered over 150 miles in training (20th Feb). I plan to complete the Weymouth half marathon on 20th March in preparation for 24th April.
