Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have been fortunate to be chosen to run for the Lord Mayor's charity, St Andrew's Club.

St Andrew’s is the oldest youth club in the world. Since 1866 it has helped to sustain the community in Central London and to enrich the lives of young people.  Its aim is to do right by young people and to help them to help themselves and to help others.

More information on St Andrew's Club can be found here www.standrewsclub.com

I am on track with my training schedule, with a personal best at the Bath half marathon. Check out the finish!

Marlow to Henley cross country half marathon  was a challenge in muddy, wet conditions.  Slower time than Bath half, and I was very glad to finally see the finish line.  The 10 km sprint in  Hyde Park was more like a plod, but first in my age group - what a surprise.  Break from running with some cross training in the Louire Valley (France) cycling over Easter and final long run completed.   Now its all behind me and I have completed the London Marathon in 5 hrs 26 min - disappointed at my time, but finished running and still had fun.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far.
