Kick Start

Kicked off my training for the Paris Marathon this week. Only got into running about 16 months ago. Had done the odd 10km run once a year. Met Sarah who is an excellent runner and my girlfriend. She caused me to catch the running bug. Have done a few 10km, 10mile and 15mile runs and have now taken the plunge to do a Marathon. Paris in May. We are doing a half marathon in March in case your wondering.

We are doing the run ourselves but thought we would try and raise some money for charity anyway. So have setup a website to do so, raising money for Starfish, who look after orphaned children affected by Aids. http://www.justgiving.com/jasonsarah

I'll be updating our progress on our training in the build up to Paris through the winter months. We have joined a running club which should help keep us motivated.

Did a 12km run this morning along the Thames, very fresh and I was thankful I had some thermal wear on. Although it looks like I may need to get out the running tights.

I cycle to work and back so hoping that is helping the fitness as well.
