YOU’RE TO BLAME

God, am I upset with you. Fuming, even. For here I am, reading the Marathon Special (May), finding myself thinking how amazing and fun that sounds. Like the most wonderful achievement. I fully blame you for planting that seed when I always said half marathons would be as far as I’d go...literally. I just opened the page to enter the London Marathon ballot....to be continued. I knew this great mag would get me into trouble one day.

Sorry, Madeleine. Perhaps the magazine should come with a warning: ‘Reading this may result in marathons, ultras and other mad ideas.’
