As if my first marathon in March didn't hurt enough (I literally wanted to die at one point)... I think I must have lost some sanity during those 26.2 miles as for some crazy reason, I signed up to do another!  

After training all through the summer, turning down pub beer garden drinking and bbq's in the sun in favour of running through the streets of Leeds, sweating and hurting and looking rather beet root in the hot sun, all in the name of training, the time has almost come to run my second full marathon.  

I'm pleased to be running again for Martin House, children's hospice, where my sister-in-law goes for respite and where other extremely ill young people are helped to feel more comfortable in a caring and calming environment.  Any donations you can spare mean so much to us.
