Running 26 marathons one for each letter of the alphabet is the challenge, in Memory of my brother Ian pictured above. Who died after a three year fight with a brain tumour which is why I am raising money for thebraintumourcharity.org the challenge has been tough with injuries and having children,twin boys born August 2015 it has become an even bigger challenge than I first envisaged.

Welsh Castles Relay 2011
The Welsh Castles Relay takes place on the second weekend in June every year. The race starts in Caernarfon on Saturday morning and ends in Cardiff on Sunday afternoon with an awards presentation once the final team has finished.
There are 20 stages ranging in distance from 8 to 14 miles passing many Welsh Castles in some challenging terrain and each team has 20 runners who each run one stage over the course of the weekend, with ten stages on Saturday and ten on Sunday.
Great Western Running club GWR entered a team and Jo and I went along for the weekend. both of us ran on Saturday when the weather was good, Sunday rained all day. GWR did not win the run but did win the mascot prize. It was a fantastic weekend, and if it works out, I would love to do it next year.

First Triathlon of the year.
Completed the westonbirt triathlon on 29th May, along with Jo and Lucy, it was lucy's first triathlon. Lucy loved it and is already planning her next one. It was a great event, Jo finished 4th lady. Highly recommended.
Due to Jo and I's long bike ride coming up, we decided to go for a long bike ride the next day on the 30th May. the weather was horrible, it rained all day. It was good training as it will rain at some point over the 11days while we are doing the LEJOG. We managed 96 miles, we had to do an out and back route as our plan was to follow national cycle route 45 through Swindon, but we lost the signs in an housing estate on the outskirts of Swindon and had to cycle back the way we came.
