I have always dreamt of running the London Marathon, ever since I watched the very first one back in 1981, though I had never really been into sports, much less running. But every time I watched the London Marathon, I would think ‘I want to do that’ and continued to dream that one day I would run it. This year I was lucky to get a ballot place in the London Marathon and my dream is now a reality. I started running about 5 years ago when I competed in the Fleet Half Marathon with a time of 2h 22min, not bad for a novice runner. I joined a running club & have never looked back. My running has just been ticking over for the last few years, partly through laziness but also because I was doing a part time MSc. Now I need to up the ante. Over the summer I worked at improving my general fitness at a gym & now I'm starting to increase my weekly mileage before attempting any long runs. I'll keep you posted.
