Marathon training update!

On Sunday Daisy completed the Eton Dorney 20k run in a time of 1:53:01 and is on target to complete the London Marathon in just under 4 hours.  Overall, Daisy was the 10th female and I'm pleased to say was in good shape at the end, which bodes well.  She also managed to “pull” a running partner on the day, Tony – 73 yrs old who has 23 marathons under his belt, the two of them paced each other the whole race.



The start of the race.

 Donations are most welcomed, anything from a £ or two will help Daisy and Jo reach the huge target they have set themselves to help young talented sports people less lucky than themselves.
