Hello and welcome to my Blog, I will be using this page to keep you all up to date with my preparation and training for the London Marathon on the 17th April 2011.

I am very excited to be running on behalf of a fantastic charity called HOPEHIV, if you are interested in the work which they do then please visit their website (www.hopehiv.org). I will also seek to inform you about the charity in some of my Blog posts. If you would like to sponsor me then please visit my fundraising page using the link below:


I will try to keep this updated each week between now and the big day.

Hit the ground running.

This is to be a slightly shorter blog than usual as exam season is well and truly here! Since being back at Uni the time has flown by, I cannot remember a week which has passed by more quickly; exam preparation, running, football and job interviews  all in a few days. I managed to get out running a couple times at the start of the week, managing 8.6km and 10km in consecutive days, not a great week but there are other things which I've needed to concentrate on in the short term. I travelled up to Birmingham for a job interview on Thursday, which proved to be worth the travel, being offered the position; so if I manage to attain a 2.1 degree I will be a Brummie from September! I played football on Saturday and apart from that I've been preparing for my first exam which is tomorrow, so lets hope it goes well.
I hope to run 40km in the week ahead, and may even have some company for a run which would be a first!
Please consider sponsoring me, your money is going to a fantastic charity, HOPEHIV, and it will help to save and transform lives and communities in Africa! So I urge you to dig deep and be generous today. I have heard back about the bucket collections at London tube stations, and it looks as if we will be given Euston station on 5th April which will be very exciting.
Wishing you all the very best of weeks, and to those others sitting exams or with deadlines, good luck!
