| | Hola mi amigos :o)
Mi nombre es Bonita Karen Samuel.
I have always dreamed of running the London Marathon in under 4 hours.
I initially had no idea how to train for a marathon. Those who I informed of my dream laughed at me and criticised me for making such a bold statement. I trained myself without any books and with no help from anyone initially. At the beginning I made a lot of mistakes and learnt the hard way. However I made it to the finishing line of my first marathon and have become a keen marathon runner. I achieved my goal and have ran three marathons in under 4 hours the times were: -
Halsted Marathon 3:56:33 in 2006 (First Marathon)
Flora Marathon 3:59:29 in 2008
Edinburgh Marathon 3:58:25 in 2009
I would like to dedicate my running to my parents, husband and my wonderful kids.
I love you all and could not have done it without your wonderful support. Also like to give praise to my favourite Primary School teacher
Mrs Howell who always believed in me. Dad I love You and miss you. You are always in my thoughts.
Keep on running. I hope to see you all on my next race.
Run Rabbit Run.
