3 years ago I signed up for my first half-marathon and two weeks later tripped over and tore my achilles. That was the cosmos telling me I was not ready.

Well now I am, so I'm running the London Landmarks Half Marathon on April 6, raising money for Shelter.

Shelter helps people in housing need by providing advice and practical assistance, and campaigns for better investment in housing and for laws and policies to improve the lives of homeless and badly housed people.

Now, you all know how unlikely a runner I am, so please let your donation match your incredulity!
