I, alongside my work colleagues, am running the Great Birmingham 13.1 mile half marathon on October 18th 2015. I've not been running for long and this will be more than double the longest distance I have run to date so this will be an immense challenge for me. Sub 2 hours is my aspirational target!!!

The company I work for, SMTC UK, have a longstanding relationship with Macmillan Cancer Support and the Great Birmingham Run provides another opportunity for us to raise much needed funds for a worthy cause.
