Brathay Windermere Marathon 2008 - and I did it!!
This was my big challenge this year - couldnt resist when a colleague at work asked if I'd like to take part........must be mad I thought as I was doing it...but a super route and fantastic weather.
So...2 marathons completed now in 6 months. Very different terrain from NYC - had a really good time....but will train for hills next time!!
Part of a team running (4 of us) raising funds for Brathay Trust and Amnesty International
