So I have never blogged before, or run particularly far before so this is all new to me really so apologies!!
I am running the Royal Parks Half Marathon on October 10th and wanted to document my progress so anyone out there who is interested, or who might be a beginner runner themselves might hopefully find what I write interesting!
I am running the half marathon in aid of the Hospice of St Francis (www.stfrancis.com) based just north of London. I am running or that charity since one of my best friends, Claire Freeman (see the shoe pic, v appropriate for her!), very sadly passed away at the end of last year from cancer. She was only 24 and it was heartbreaking, but the last time I saw her she had been staying in the Hospice and couldn't believe what a lovely and happy place it was. Especially since the Hospice is almost completely run off charitable donations - a pretty good cause in my opinion! I really hope to raise around £1000 for them so fingers crossed!
