So where to begin

A shiny new blog.  How exciting, and a little bit daunting too.  I'm not really too sure what I have to say so I'll start off by telling you why I have called this blog 'Running to the Start'.  In October I will be running my first half marathon.  For someone who is barely able to run for the bus this is a big task, but something I want to achieve in 2012.  I hope this blog will not only keep me inspired during my training, but that it will also be a place for me to write about what I've been up to (and show off some of my photos). An online journal, if you will, open to anyone who happens to stumble on to it.

One of my hobbies is photography so whilst I think of something to write I will bore you with a couple of my favourite photos!  All taken my me, and not to be used without my permission!
This photo was taken at the Isle of Wight Garlic Festival, a couple of years ago now!
This is one of the tigers at London Zoo - check out his drool!

I call this one, 'Putting the brakes on!'
