And so it begins!

My fundraising page went up tonight, so now its really time to get this thing moving. I hope that some of you will follow along with the highs and the lows of marathon training, from black toenails, dodgy knees and ice baths, to elation of running further, faster and stronger than I ever thought I could. 

Once the marathon is over, I will use page to record my bike trip, logging  in with photos and progress updates as I pedal my way across the provinces of Canada. Leave your comments, thoughts and (hopefully) encouragements, as if nothing else this will reassure me that it’s not just spambots and my gran that read this. 

Warning: future posts may contain moaning, swearing and gratuitous lycra-wearing
