I have always been a keen runner and over the past 4 years a little has rubbed off on Andy to the extent he uttered the words "shall we run a Marathon"?  So with a little discussion and a clean bill of health, as Andy had suffered a heart attack 5 years ago (always goes to the extreme a little heart burn is normally enough for most people but not Andy), here we are!  With the support of each other and family and friends we have managed to follow our training plan (book provided by my sister Julie - who has run at least 5 and is our inspiration!!) are in a very good place with 7 weeks to go - having already achieved a couple of 1/2 marathon's and a 15 mile run (our longest yet)!  A 20 miler is coming up in a couple of weeks.

We have lots of medals as you can see - we like a medal - and we need to get to my sisters 85 :) - it has been a great experience and can't wait for the ultimate medal on the 24th April!

This week we managed 16 miles so we will be more than ready for our 2 X 20 miles back to back in two weeks time as we have to squeeze the Hampton Court London Half Marathon in this week and the medal is fabulous :)!
