About Us

Emma(aka one time laziest person in the world) decided before she was 30 she wanted to run a marathon. Aubrey (aka super fit lunatic) decided he'd help her. Together they finished the Barcelona marathon 2011. With her 30th birthday fast approaching Emma was not content with having only one marathon under her belt before the big 3-0 and wanted to take on the King of all marathons - New York City. What could make this challenge even better? Raising €10,000 for the Irish Cancer Society. Over the next four months, they'll be pounding the pavements, shaking buckets and bleeding their friends dry all in the name of cancer research. This will be Emma's second marathon and Aubrey's forth.

Tricky training!

Training 4 days a week for 4 months can be tricky. It's takes time planning and then when you think you can fit all your runs in easily, life gets in the way and you find yourself getting up early, or running late to keep on top of things and to keep putting those miles on your legs.

The last two weeks were particularly tricky work was(is!) hectic and the weather wasn't the best(summer - what summer! Has officially left us), making sure you hit the distances on the 4 runs was tough.

I spoke to a girl in work about it and she showed me an amazing video on which brought back memories of the marathon in Barcelona, the pain, the sweat, the blisters and the pure joy when you cross that finish line. I can't wait to get my medal on 6th November because this time it will be even more special together, myself and Aubrey, with your help will have raised €10,000 for cancer research in Ireland. If that's not something to make you smile, I don't know what is!
