I've never run a half marathon before...
I've never even run a 10k before...

Although I'm married to a mad cyclist, the activity I'm more used to doing is making cakes to fuel his bike riding! My goal is to run 13.1 miles for Cancer Research in the Great Scottish Run, Glasgow (5th Oct). 

I am doing this because few weeks ago I found out that a good friend from my uni days had died, she had ovarian cancer and was 28 years old. While she was having treatment she ran a half marathon, this incredible achievement will be my inspiration when I need to haul myself out of bed early in the morning, or go out for a run in the pouring rain to complete another segment of my 'couch potato to half marathon' training plan!  

Please sponsor me if you can, research into cancer can't change the outcome for my friend but it will go towards changing the outcome for others.

Thanks x
