I have run two marathons, both in London. I have finished in 3 hours 48 mins and 3 hours 46 minutes. If I manage something similar in Paris I'll be very pleased.
I work and live at a boarding school near Ipswich and life is very busy during term-time. Running is a good way to escape the school campus & enjoy the beautiful Suffolk countryside. My training is being affected by a heel injury but I am managing to get out regularly, about three times per week. The current challenge for me is to build up to about 12-13 miles on my next long run. I managed 8.5 miles last weekend and was exhausted afterwards! I also need to do lots of boring stretching exercises to help recovery from the injury.
In 2008 I raised funds for Ipswich Mencap & in 2010 I raised funds for Mind, the mental health charity. This year, I am delighted to be helping Rob's fund-raising for SIM's work amongst children affected by HIV/Aids in Zimbabwe.
