I cannot believe I am running a marathon. And not just any marathon - the LONDON MARATHON!! This is a massive deal for me, as I have always wanted to run the course but have never managed to secure a place. Things have turned out for the best though, as I am now able to run for a cause that means a lot to me on a professional level as well as on a personal level.

All donations are greatly appreciated and will definitely help keep me going for the entire 26.2 miles! I say keep me "going" as I can't quite commit to running the entire course at this stage but who knows nearer the time...

I am currently working my way through the FOUR MONTH training plan, and just have to remind myself that anything is possible at this stage :)
