London Marathon 2025 incoming! This for me has been a bucket list moment, not because I love running, quite the opposite to be honest, especially road running, I couldn’t think of much worse, but this is the London Marathon!
Surrounded by thousands of people all aiming for the same thing, to get across that finish line, but it’s bigger than that right. Thousands of people coming together, a lot of them (myself included) running for charity to raise money and awareness for something much bigger than us.
Thousands more coming to cheer and support friends and family, and even strangers through the 26.2 miles.
This will be a challenge no doubt, especially the miles and miles of training runs all to get to the big day, but I can’t help feel incredibly grateful and proud. I know how fortunate I am to have this opportunity, and with that my marathon journey and fundraising journey starts here.
I can promise you that even on those wettest and coldest days when the last thing I want to do is go and get those miles in. I will be out there doing exactly that, because I know it’s not every day you get this opportunity.
And who knows maybe after this I might start enjoying running on the road, or maybe it will be a nice way to retire from road running altogether and never look back.
London Marathon 2025 I’m coming for you, and I’m going to give everything I’ve got.
Let’s go!
Oh and if you see me crying at the side of the road between now and London Marathon 2025 please just give me a gentle nudge 🙏🏻
Thank you
