This is me signing off from marathons. I had a place for 2009, but have withdrawn. My achillies is still playing up and I have an appointment with a muscular specialist in November. Also, during the small amount of running I have done this year, my kidneys have ached like hell afterwards. I have decided that my body is trying to tell me something!
I am not giving up running for good, maybe I will try a half marathon instead in a year or two.
Over & out.

Join me on my quest to run the 2008 Flora London Marathon and at the same time, raise as much as possible for Kidney Research
Why Kidney Research?
Kidney Research UK supports research aimed at finding better treatments, and ultimately a cure, for kidney disease. We have over £9 million invested in research at any one time, awarding grants to doctors, nurses and researchers across the UK. We also award grants to kidney patients so that they can cope with the unexpected costs of their condition, and campaign for better patient access to renal services.
For those that don't know, I have Polycystic Kidney Disease. The type I have is carried in your genes (sorry kids!). My mother has it too and had a transplant about 10 years ago. But apart from a few pills each morning to control blood pressure and the odd ache & pain I don't know I've got it. I have just had a host of scans & tests and have been passed fit, so what better time to run a marathon? I am supposed to keep fit & eat healthy, plus I have just turned 40, so perhaps it is some sort of mid-life thing too!
