Why I am taking part in Janathon

I always like a challenge and this year is not any different. I am not only tackling my first marathon, I am doing 538 miles for Help for Heroes. I am running 62 miles, cycling 260 and walking 8 marathons. I really need to start getting the training in as my next half marathon is on the 11th of March.

I thought that Janathon would be just what I need to get me going. Unfortunately I am not able to only do running because I have a few events already schedule but I will be being active.

Whilst Dusty is my main running partner, I am fortunate to have a few different people to spend my time running with, Jenn and Anna, we motivate each other to get running early in the winter mornings. 

A lot of people think I am over excited about my sports, you can tell by the enthusiasm and challenges I set myself, but there is something behind my enthusiasm. I have lost a significant amount of weight since separating from the United States Air Force. I found out that I am allergic to milk and soya. Whilst I was always a runner and fast, I could never shed the weight. Now its so much easier to run now and I am very proud to have run my first half marathon with Jenn in 1:50:21.  My target for the marathon is 4 hours. So I really better get on the training.

Please donate to this worthy cause at my charity page and follow my progress on my FB page for my challenge.

Happy Running!
