Better late than never

I am having a slightly later start to my fund raising campaign than I had initially planned. Largely because a minor life event happened. As of November I am engaged to be married. The date of said wedding is in June.
For those of you paying attention to my sporting calendar you will have noticed that June is in between the London Marathon and Ride 100, not to worry though because we are both taking part in these events. So, as you may infer, we are as mad as each other!


Training started in November, while we were on holiday in Lanzarote. An all inclusive week for swimming and running in the warmth before winter training really kicks in here in the cold. What was a lovely idea, and I know that the Canary Islands are famous for wind, but it was exceptionally windy. I thought Hove Prom on a bad day was a struggle, Lanzarote provided me with a 45km/hr wind along the coast. Which made for a really nice run in one direction.... less so the other.


Unfortunately the future Mrs Katie is injury ridden so we have not been able to run together over Xmas and enjoy the mud of the Surrey countryside but hopefully she will soon be back to running with me and complaining all the way. Still hoping to share some of my runs with you on the blog and updates from the people who will join me along the way. I am very excited that 2 fabulous people have already agreed to do some runs with me. More details to follow soon!
