Less than a month to go!

Blimey, where did January go?

I am still on target to run in the Paris Half Marathon on March 4 – it will be my first overseas event and I am thrilled to be raising money and awareness for Get Kids Going!, a national charity, headed by Sebastian Coe, which strives to get disabled children and young people into sport.

I have found training difficult in the past two months – mostly because of the long, dark nights and the fact I have mostly been running round the roads at night on my own. But luckily, the days are now  starting to lengthen and I am managing to get a short trail run of two or three miles in during the afternoons – I much prefer running off-road in the forest or countryside!

This weekend I did a ten-mile race, which went really well and I got my fastest time yet for that distance, so things are looking good.

I am still lacking in donations on the sponsorship front, so if you can spare a few pounds, please head over to my Virgin Money Giving page on:
