This is my journal.  I’m learning to run.  I have a place in the Silverstone Half Marathon in March 2016 and the Brighton Marathon in April 2016.  I’m raising money for the Alzheimer’s Society, which is a charity very dear to my heart.  Running a whole marathon when you don’t have much experience is a bit scary.  So I’m trying to convince myself that I’m just going to Brighton to run between the water stations…

I have signed up with George Anderson at Intelligent Runner and will be beginning my training programme on 28th December 2015.  Meantime, I hope to use this as a way of documenting my progress, and persuading you, my lovely reader, to sponsor me!
