My Story

I used to run quite a lot about five years ago and was much fitter/thinner than I am now. See the photo of me running in Austria in 2007....

I really enjoy running and have started to get back into it. I'd like to do the London Marathon before I am 40 so have entered to run for Sparks in 2013. Its a great cause so please support them.

I'm doing lots of training already and will be running in the Great East Run (a half marathon) on 14th October.

My goals for London are to:

(1) Finish

(2) Run it all

(3) Post a good time.

Ideally to achieve all three as I may not want to do it again!

I'm running in a Comms Dealer/Fidelity/O2 team with colleagues and together we are looking to raise £20k
