13.1 miles is a long distance. When I signed up to do this run I hadn't quite fathomed that 13.1 miles is a sizeable distance. Shortly after my first run, where I assumed I had hit the 5 mile mark only to realise it was closer to the 2 mile mark did it hit home that this wasn't going to be as easy as I first thought. 13.1 miles is really far. They shouldn't call it a 'half marathon' but a marathon. Then call a marathon a 'double marathon' or something.
But the real reason for this blog post is I am plugging for support. I am hoping to raise money for the NSPCC who help protect vulnerable children. My money raising page can be found here and any amount you can give will be used for a good cause! So dig deep and throw some monetary encouragement my way. So c'mon don't be shy and just imagine every £ you give is a punch to a paedophiles face.
