...and waiting for me in the inbox was a new message, titled 'Your London Marathon Application'.
I opened it with a sinking feeling. It was only just over a week since I'd sent my application in. I didn't really expect to be successful, but I didn't expect to be rejected so quickly, either.
I scanned the email, read it more carefully, and then read it aloud.
'We'd really like to offer you a place on our London Marathon Team, if you're still keen to join us.'
I was in! Asthma UK had offered me a place on their team. Was I still keen? Oh yes!
Much jumping up and down followed, along with a couple of phone calls and a quick announcement on Facebook.
I have watched the London Marathon for years and always thought 'one day, I'd like to run that', but I'm not sure I ever believed I'd get the opportunity.
In this blog I hope to chart the ups and downs of the next few months - the training and the fundraising - and I hope you'll make the journey with me.
