This week I acquired myself a 2018 London Marathon place. I do not know why entering felt like a good idea. I am crapping my pants.
I'll be running to raise money for Meningitis Now via JustGiving; I need all the encouragement I can get, and any sponsorship would be very much appreciated!
What have I done?!

I initially stated blogging to keep you informed and me sane throughout my diagnosis of, and recovery from, meningitis and subsequently transverse myelitis. Then it turned into a travel blog, and now it's got out of hand. Sorry.

Portugal and Paris
Last week I got back from a girly holiday with another midwife from work. We started off in Faro, Portugal, before spending a couple of days in Paris. It was a relaxed few days on the beach in Faro which resulted in some incredible sunburn. So sore was my arse that I nearly cried after peeling myself off the plane seat when we landed in Paris. It was nice to vary up my running routes a bit, and the run in Paris was especially great! Why am I running on holiday?, I hear you ask. Well, this year (like all others for the past 5 years) I entered the London Marathon ballot, but I've also promised myself I'll apply for a charity place this year if I don't succeed in the ballot. So far training is going well!
