Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In February 2012, we lost our Northern Star. I met Raaaach (or Daws) at Uni when I joined the rugby team. She was full of energy, always laughing and up for anything. I've enjoyed many good times with Rach, from rugby trips to mountain-biking up (and down) an actual mountain in Austria, to white-water rafting, so it seemed appropriate to do something a bit 'daft' in her memory.

For me, running a marathon is 'daft'!! I was not built running long distances, I was built for sprinting, rugby or swimming! I have no idea how I am going to get through running for such a long time!! However, training is going well and I am enjoying being able to eat as much of anything I like!! 

Training is being taken seriously, so much so, that January was completely DRY on the alcohol front! I have also committed to no beer/lager until after the race. (I hear red wine is good for you, so that is allowed).
