Well day 1 training. 18 mile walk from Waltham abbey to canarey wharf - walking, & with a pub at the end - my kinda training!

Hello There,

Thanks so much for visiting my 'justgiving' page for the royal parks marathon. 

As many of you are aware I am normally far more likley to be in a beer garden with a pack of twenty than be running a half marathon.

Now I can't guarantee that I won't be caught in a beer garden half way through but my sincere intention is to give this 'healthy' running thing a crack at least for one day so I can say I've done it & to raise as much as I can for an amazing charity that CFS Co-operative has as it's charity of the year. 

As you can imagine all donations will be gratefully recieved along with anyone who fancies buying me a pint once I'm over the finishing line. 

Yay to the idea of me running - let the training commence.
