Originally I was due to run the Great South Run, but it was cancelled due to bad weather.

Instead I signed up to a 10K Santa run in December (which is 6.2 miles in old money) - I smashed a PB and was pretty pleased with the results of that run.

The next race is a half Marathon in February (Which is 13.1 miles).

Finally - I toyed with the idea of doing a marathon in April... I have now committed to that and I am suffering the long hours of training as a result. It is quite dull but the thing that keeps me going is the donations!

I am doing this all for victim/Survivors at Aurora and am really grateful for all your donations.

My feet my hurt and my legs might ache, but every penny really motivates me, so thank you very much.
