I discovered how running is good for the soul when my son insisted we run our local Parkrun. It was a complete nightmare, but we returned the following week and after a few more we were hooked.

I never thought I'd run a marathon - but the time has come to attempt something well and truly out of my comfort zone.

I'm nervous, but excited. I know that if I put in the training I'll get across that finish line. This is the big one!

I'm raising money for a great little sustainability charity in Bromley - Greener and Cleaner.
