Inspired by everyone taking part in last year's London Marathon and suitably numb to the more painful memories from the previous year's NYC Marathon, I decided it was time to give it another go.
In April 2008, I approached Children with Leukaemia to ask if I could run for them in the 2009 London Marathon. They raise money for a very worthy cause, and one that is close to our hearts. I was fortunate enough to be offered one of their places back in August and have been keeping my running going since, although training in earnest didn't begin until January this year.
