Running the Fleet Half Marathon is probably the hardest challenge I have ever set myself! I am certainly not a natural runner, never go to the gym and was blissfully unaware that running around after 2 daughters doesn't actually make you fit!
December 31st 2013 I weakened to my cousin Tom's constant plea to run the Fleet Half with him. Why? I ask myself.
With the help of my running buddy, and great friend, Emma and lots of 'text' support from both Helen and Tom, the first six weeks past. However, I was still not convinced that I would be able to achieve my goal. Then, Monday 17th February, after my first run with Tom (an amazing 9 miles!) it has begun to feel real.
I now have just 3 1/2 weeks to go and feel ready to admit my crazy challenge. I have chosen to raise money for The British Heart Foundation as not only did our family sadly lose my Daddy to heart failure; but the wonders of heart surgery gave my Mummy a second chance at life. This is my opportunity to give something back to this amazing charity. Please sponsor me, however small, your gift will be received with truly heart felt thanks.
Thank you to the wonderful and supportive, Barry, Megs and Izzie, whom I love so dearly and to all my family and friends who believe in me.
