Having managed to escape PE for most of my educational life and having avoided Sports' Day from the age of 6, it will come as a shock to most people to discover that I will be running the Brighton Marathon next Summer for St Wilfrid's Hospice in Chichester. Despite my aversion to anything sporty, aside from watching the gymnastics from the comfort of my sofa on a Sunday, I am determined to run and, more importantly, finish it.
My Dad once told me that I was on a one-woman mission to save the world. He may have a point. I do suffer from a form of "Charity Tourettes". If anyone needs help, it will always be me with their hand up, "pick me, pick me". This could be seen as me being caring and considerate or it could be seen as some sort of mental health disorder. "Oh, you need someone to prance about in a funny outfit? Okay" The things I do in order to help a good cause. I am surprised my two kidneys remain intact!
I shall be using this blog to record my progress, as I begin training. Watch this space...
