I never thought I would run a half-marathon but when I was asked to support Sporting Family Change (SFC) - a very worthwhile local charity - and set myself an extremely stretching goal in the process, I found myself saying 'yes'! I have 6 weeks to train and I'm giving it my best shot. If you would like to donate to this cause and help put a spring in my step, I'd be very grateful. I'm supported by my personal trainer, Adam Sinden, who has clearly ignored my brief to him 6 months ago when I said "I don't do running" and who suggested we run it together for SFC. Yet I'm strangely glad he has and I'm grateful to him for pushing me week on week and for having confidence in me to complete the Bath Half-Marathon. I am also inspired by my good friend Lydia Godfrey who has run many marathons at awe-inspiringly quick times and said to me last summer "anyone can train to run a marathon" which I'm not sure is true but made me curious to try and learn to enjoy running. Wish me luck and fingers crossed for decent weather on Sunday 13th March!
