A good little runner

Last year I started running as a different way to keep myself fit (the gym was getting sooo boring!). I'm one of these people that needs goals and targets to keep myself motivated and so in June last year I did the 5K Race for Life raising a rather meagre £100.00 for charity. In October I did a 10K race completing it in less than 1hr but it wasn't as difficult as I thought.

This year I have decided to step it up a notch and go for a half marathon. The Leeds Half Marathon route takes you from the city centre up to the ring road and back again and takes place on the 8th May which doesn't give me all that much time to train up! I am going to aim for a time of 2 hrs which seems vaguely attainable.

Wish me luck! I will keep you updated on my training, development and the race!
