Why?  Well it's a challenge and six years is long enough to forget what it was like the first time around.  What I do remember was the cheers of the crowd and the fulfilment of having done something really worthwhile.

This time I'm fundraising for Shelter and I've set myself a biggish target so all contributions are greatly appreciated. 

Training?  Well it's going ok, ratcheting up the mileage gradually and the Reading half next month will give me a chance to see if I can beat my time in 2004.  Just hope it'll warm up a bit in the weeks ahead!
