Hi All

Having watched the London marathon this year I was really inspired to do more running.  A full marathon seemed pretty daunting so I have set the first goal as the Windsor Half Marathon - though even 13 miles is seeming a long way at the moment.

It also seemed like a good idea to train during the summer, though having spent so many runs getting soaked through this summer I think that I now run better in the rain - maybe its part of my Irish heritage.  So not sure how happy I am about sunny September!

I have decided to raise money for the womens sport foundation which is an organisation which enncourages women and girls to get involved in sport.
