Always good to have a title that grabs your attention.

On Sunday 25th February I'll be pulling on my shorts to raise money for the Sussex Beacon - a fantastic charity that provides care and support for people living with HIV. Sadly, donning sportswear is not sufficient impetus for people to throw money at me. Which is a pity really; if I had a pound for every time someone's smiled at the sight of my pale little legs, I'd be quids in. No, in order to get the cash flowing in, I need to go the extra mile (well, 13.1 to be precise) and take on the Brighton Half Marathon.

It's my first ever proper run, so who knows what to expect. I'm just hoping for an impressive little bulge in the Beacon coffers. Aren't we all?
