So .... I wasn't going to do this half marathon craziness for charity ... but I have decided that I will NEVER run such a distance again ... so I am going to make it count for both myself and for a charity that I am very involved in! So ... for those of you who know me ... and have followed this mid life #fitbyforty crisis ... you can do your bit too!! At the Edinburgh Marathon Festival at the end of the month, Paul and I are both running the half marathon (13.1 miles / 21k ... just very, very far really!!) and Sophie is running a 2k . Paul and Sophie are aiming for times ... I am aiming to not die!!!!! We've set up a Givey site ... which means the charity gets all the donations with no admin fees deducted. I will be running for Alternatives in Dundee .... an organisation which I am an advisor and trustee with. We provide help, support and information for anyone facing an unintended pregnancy and for those struggling coming to terms with childloss whether through miscarriage, abortion or early death. This might be the final push that gets me a sprint finish over the line!
