Thanks for taking the time to visit my page, I thought I'd give the old marathon another bash being Olympic year and all that. I'm 2yrs older (probably not wiser) but am keen to try and better my last attempt, although slightly concerned I will be beaten by my former self!

Naturally I am doing this for charity and the Marsh & Parsons sponsored Rugby Portobello Trust. They work primarily with youngsters in deprived areas in an attempt to give them a better start in life. There are endless charities who all do excellent work, whatever the cause people run for it's about recognising a need to help those less fortunate than ourselves so any donation is going to help. 

My special winter leggings are out of the draw, the miles are clocking up, and the anti-chafing application is at the ready! Will do my best. Thanks for your support, James.
