Introduction	I'm Sam I am and I like to run a bit! I hated long distance running at school. I was more of a sprinter and my ambition was to become an athlete (or an actress if that didn't work out!) Despite my reluctance, running the London Marathon is something I dreamt of doing when I was growing up. I only really took up long distance running seriously a couple of years ago. Unfortunately around the same time the eating disorder that has plagued me for 15 years reared its ugly head. I have abused running in the past & used it as a means to control my weight. Then it began to dawn on me that I was actually quite good at it & I decided that I didn't want to give it up. If my health didn't improve though, I might be forced to. That was a turning point for me......I ran the Edinburgh Marathon last March and throughout the whole 26.2 miles, I never once thought "I can't do this". So here I am one year on (and on the path to recovery) and my dream of running the London Marathon is about to come true!
