30 before 30 by PixieRunner

I have been running for about 2 years now.  I live in Birmingham with my husband.  I run to clear my head, forget about the stresses of work, to gossip on the way home from work with my running bud and most of all because it makes me feel good!

My VLM story all started with a drunken night out with some friends when we wrote a list of 30 things we wanted to achieve before we turned 30.  The list contained a whole range of crazy things- as the only runner in the group- it seemed obvious that it'd be me that took on the marathon!! This will be my first marathon and right now I feel excited, lucky, nervous and a tiny bit sick. This is also the first time I've written a blog.

I am running for Action For Children.... www.justgiving.com/hannahpearsall

So here I am and so the training begins!!
