My First Marathon

Even though I have always trained as a sprinter, it has always been a goal of mine to complete a marathon. This September (just over a month to go) I will be running my first marathon along side my boyfriend; or just behind my boyfriend!

We entered the 38th BMW Berlin Marathon earlier in the year and training is going well but my nerves have heightened and I'm starting to wonder what I have got myself in to.

I told my Grandad that I had entered the race, he seemed somewhat unimpressed and said he would 'sponsor a penny a mile'. Good old Grandad! My Grandad suddenly passed away not long after this due to heart problems so our chosen charity became the British Heart Foundation in loving memory of my amazing Grandad.

Quite a bit of money has been raised so far, thank you to all who have donated, but we still have a way to go to match our target £500. Please find a few pennies and sponsor us by clicking here. It's very simple.

26.2 miles is a longgggggg way to run! We must be mad!
