Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

2014 is a big landmark for me - Retirement! I want to do something challenging to mark the event and I think you'll agree that 3 marathons and 1 ultra marathon in the one year will certainly be that for me along with all of the training required and a few 10ks & half marathons to keep the engine ticking over.

My first marathon will be the Edinburgh on 25th May and then two weeks later I'm running the Strathearn Marathon on 6th June. A bit of a rest and then the Great North Run on 7th September, then the Loch Ness Marathon on 28th September. Finally to top the year off I'm running the Glen Ogle 33 ultra run on 1st November.

I thought it would be great to also try and raise some cash for Macmillan Cancer Support.

The charity has helped some close friends and family of mine in the past and I thought this might be a good way to say thanks and give me a bit more incentive to keep going through the dark winter nights and mornings.
