I completed my very first (and potentially last) marathon yesterday! As a mild asthmatic I wheezed my way round the Brighton Marathon on Sunday morning, accompanied by my standard unavoidable Darth Vader sound effects for 26.2 miles. My speed eased off a little as I toured the quite frankly inspiring Shoreham Industrial Estate... A massive thanks to absolutely anyone who cheered, shouted, swore (or moaned about a road being closed) as I straggled past. It was absolutely awesome to not be crouching over a computer for a morning.

I did it to raise money for NASS (the National Ankylosing Spondylitis Society). You can sponsor me here. A huge thanks to everyone who has already sponsored me for NASS. Long may their work continue.
