Dover Half Marathon

'This is my first half marathon and I have been in training since this September to ensure that I am able to finish the course and therefore raise money for this charity. I am running for this charity as my son was a classmate and a good friend of William. '

Dover Half Marathon Report

I decided in the autumn of last year that I wanted to do a half marathon. I had resumed running in 2006 and had done 5 mile and 10k races. I had never run more than that distance before. I decided that I would use this opportunity to raise funds for the Wiliam Doolin Fund of the SDBTT as well as boosting my fitness. I found training hard and had to tackle running up the hills around Dover. It paid off and on the day of the half marathon I managed to register an even faster time than I had expected. Having completed this event I have now dared to comtemplate running a full marathon. I do not know which one it will be but I have decided that once again I will fund raise for the William Doolin Fund. As I am moving to Belgium this year it is likely to be the Brussels marathon in October 2008 or more likely 2009. Chris
