The running hazard... by harriet_gordon

So here I am... writing my first ever blog! I'm training for my first ever marathon and am equally as scared and excited about the 11.5 weeks that lay ahead.

I've tried for a place in London for the last 3 years and finally this year decided I couldn't wait any longer and have got a place through the amazing charity 'Children with Leukaemia'. I'm hoping to raise £2500 for them.

I've been injured for the last two months so have only two weeks of running under my belt at the moment, and very slow running at that! My awesome chiropractor in Chiswick is helping me get to the start line, and just making it that far is going to be some achievement after the last 3 months!

I'm doing a couple of races in the lead up - the Bath Half Marathon, and the Kingston Breakfast run...wish me luck!!

If you're feeling really kind and want to help children who have leukaemia please sponsor me at:
