I'll be running the Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday 22 May raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support.  After running the London Marathon three years ago I vowed "never again" - I was wrong... in my home city, into my sixth decade and running for a cause which has real personal meaning for me, I've decided to have another go. It won't be fast and it won't be pretty but I'll aim to keep going. Please support in any way you can - every little counts and every step will be easier knowing I am helping this very worthwhile charity. Thank you.
