Charles fundraising for WPF Therapy!
Hi all!
I've completed my 18 week training for the London Marathon and ran it on Sunday 22nd April. Along with aiming for a rather fast time of 3h15m on my first (and last ?!?) marathon, I've gave up alcohol for the duration. I ran for my sister's charity MPF Councelling, which is part of the WPF Therapy network. For more info, see below.
On the day, I was doing the first half on track in 1:36, but it all fell apart at mile 15 when my thighs seized up, so I shuffled the last 11 miles coming home an hour slower than expected in 4:11:08. At least I finished though - a couple of times I considered the sane option of pulling out.
Please sponsor me!
