The Story So Far......

The story so far…..

Having taken up running on a fairly regular basis four years ago and competing in The Great North Run in 2006 my running took a back seat whilst I was travelling following graduating from University.

2010 will be the year I conquer the London Marathon, and this blog will document the trails and tribulations leading up to the big day in April.

As a gym bunny and an addict of all things active I was initially delighted with my charity place with VICTA (Visually Impaired Children Taking Action). The marathon is a great way to raise vital funds for charities like Victa and from a personal perspective I found the opportunity to push myself on such a physical level too tempting.

Now however after managing to run 14 miles with my running partner Elen and nearly dying I am of the feeling that 26.2 miles is a heck of a long way.

I am starting to panic and my confidence is somewhat wavering. Will I actually be able to finish the marathon….. If Eddie Izzard can run 43 marathons in 51 days surely I can finish one, surely.
