**Update: Just back from Bristol - I completed the race in 2hrs 16!! That's even better than I hoped! - Pictures now added!**

Hi, my name is Rachel McGann and I'm running the Bristol Half-Marathon on September 5th 2010. I've decided to raise money for The Samaritans.

**Update: I've now reached my initial fundraising target of £300, thank you everyone. Please keep giving though -  let's see how close to £400 we can get!**

A bit about me: I'm 36 years old, married with two kids and a full-time mum. I started running in February of this year and did my first race (10K) on 25th April. I decided to do the Bristol HM to challenge myself and also to raise some money for charity. I picked The Samaritans as my dad has been volunteering with them for the past 10+ years. I've never been particularly sporty or fit, but I'm getting better! I'm hoping to run the HM in about 2hrs 25 minutes

 

I will update this page regularly to let people know how my training is going.
