SHINE London Marathon

Time to start a bit of serious training for the SHINE London marathon http://shine.cancerresearchuk.org/events/london-2012

Last year, The Darlings and I took part in this night time walk through London and it was such a rewarding event, we are signed up for the 2012 walk which starts at the old Battersea Power Station.

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would be taking part in a challenge like this, but we have lost too many very dear family and friends to many forms of cancer, so I thought it was about time to help raise money for the tremendous research which has managed to save, or the extend lives of cancer sufferers.

The six mile walk on Sunday went quite well, we were back home in 90 minutes and not too many aches today.  It will be easier once the Olympics are over and we do not need to negotiate the endless 'packs' of cyclists who are enthusiastically riding the route.  We will be marooned in our area for the two days over the weekend of the cycling road race!
