This year I will be running my 11th Bristol Half Marathon for Bristol Brunel Lions Club. If you want to know where your donations are going please click on their link on this page and have a read.

I have a strong sense of deja vu setting this page up. Once again I said last year would be my last, and yet here I am again. Once again I said I would train for this one, and yet once again I have done diddly squat.

However this time as I approach my 30th birthday and the birth of my son, I am mainly concentrating on being around to enjoy those things. So I'm not going to add the usual "I want to beat my personal best" to the list of quotations that are never going to happen.

Please donate and share if you would be so kind. I will post updates on my one month of preparation, if indeed there are any. See you at the finish line... hopefully!
