I started running about 4 years ago when I was packing a few more pounds than today! After some hard training and loosing about 3 stone in weight, I felt ready to run a half marathon. After completing the Southend Half Marathon in June 2014 I decided I needed a bigger challenge, and here I am.

So, it's going to be tough in fact the toughest thing I have ever done. I reckon I will need to listen to Sharon's training tips if I want to get fit enough to finish.....or you could donate which would also give me an incentive to finish!
