I have selected my 15 girls, the 15 ladies who have bravely agreed to come on a 12 month journey with me to train for a Spring Marathon…they must be as mad as me!!

So who do we have?

Amanda, 34 from Ohio USA with a BMI of 37
Amber, 29 Colorado USA with a BMI of 31
Chicu, 36 from Uttarakhand India witha BMI of 32
Dianne, 51 from Virginia USA with a BMI of 33
Gemma, 26 from Cambridge UK with a BMI of 40
Holley, 23 from Alabama USA with a BMI of 27
Jennifer, 32 from Missouri USA with a BMI of 38
Mary, 41 from Ireland (but living in Lisbon, Portugal) with a BMI of 31
Michelle, 34 from Ontario Canada with a BMI of 45
Niki, 27 from Iowa USA with a BMI of 50
Riki, 35 from Arizona USA with a BMI of 36
Rozzette, 42 from Texas USA with a BMI of 40
Ryleigh, 25 from New Hampshire USA with a BMI of 37
Sylvia, 36 from California USA with a BMI of 30
Tina, 45 from Indiana USA with a BMI of 51

The ladies are from all over the world, are all shapes and sizes (although on the large size), different ethnicities and with varying amounts of running experience, although none of them have done a marathon yet.

They have just been set their challenges for May, 3 simple tasks to help set a baseline for where everyone is at. Check out the Programme page if you fancy joining in from afar, just be sure to keep us informed of your progress.

I can’t wait to see how my ladies get on, and I wonder if my fitness and commitment to running will increase as a result. We shall see!!!

Good Luck Ladies
