Hi! I'm Stef 👋 Last September, I started running, aged 41, having not run since school. Things escalated! I'm now training for the London Marathon in October 🙀 Read the full story

Half marathon 19 in 19 weeks. Still going with this!

Now we seem to be into full blown summer, I’m really pleased I did! Being able to run all the way up to Hyde Park is amazing. It’s 10k to the gate from where I live, so I can pootle about there, stop to take in the view a few times, and there’s hardly anyone around still.

This week is pretty intense because I’m both releasing a rebuild of the web app part of Oak National Academy *and* moving house *and* wrapping up the project I’ve just finished *and* doing our best to support the kids when they go “back” to school. We’re not sending them back physically to the school - I just think it’s madness to be opening up schools when there are still 100 people dying per day and cases in the thousands. And for a few weeks is it really worth the risk? I get it that some folks need to, so hopefully if we don’t, then it takes some pressure and risk out for the school too.

So, the next one of these will be two days before go, so I’ll have to be up super early for that! And probably a bit shorter.

Oh, and breaking in the new shoes seems to be a bit of a nightmare so I had to go back to my old ones 🤷‍♂️

I'm running the London Marathon – it would be awesome if you would sponsor me to raise funds for the National Autistic Society.
