I’ve always wanted to run a marathon, but shorter races were beset by poor training. Since taken running more seriously, I’ve become lighter, leaner and possibly even a bit faster. If I’m ever to achieve my dream of running a marathon, then this is the year to do it. An Olympic year too.
                
                
                
                    
                    
                    In less than two months time, I will once again be donning my running shoes to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
                
                
                
                    
                    
                    I won’t be participating in this years Great North Run. However two friends of mine will be.
                
                
                
                    
                    
                    Last weekend I completed the 4th Great Manchester Run.
                
                
                
                    
                    
                    In just over three weeks time, I will once again travelling up to the lovely North-East to take part in this years Great North Run.
