I’m in the intensive (for me) phase of my training for the Leeds half marathon, which is on 8th May. This means between 6 and 8 miles a day on the new secret training path I recently found, plus some weight training or time on the rolling road, depending on what day it is and how much I damaged my tricep that morning.

I’m still raising money for nia and there’s a new crowdfunding page for this and all future events, here.

I raised nearly £1500 with the Sheffield half marathon, which I’m really pleased with. I’m not expecting to reach the same this time, because the events are so close together in time. I’ll be pulling out all the stops raising funds for the Great North Run in September, though, so be warned.

As always, take a look at my fundraising page. I’m doing wheelchair half marathons (three this year, plus sundry 10k events) to raise money for nia, a women-led, women-only, secular, rights-based registered charity which has been delivering services to women, girls and children who have been subjected to sexual and domestic violence and abuse, including prostitution, since 1975.
