What's this blog all about?

You may already know that I'm a keen road runner, and that I ran the Flora London Marathon in 2007 and raised £3300 for Macmillan Cancer Care... this year decided to try once again to get a place in the Flora London Marathon.

In late November I was stunned to receive notification that I had been accepted for a ballot place, a 2008 London Marathon place was now assured.

I created this blog just to keep a record of important (and not so important) events along the way!

Sunday Short Run

The source of the pain in my right foot became very evident as I pulled on my running shoes for my Sunday run. It's remarkable that you can have such a painful pressure point and not notice... I can't believe how long it's taking me to get these new running shoes laced correctly, I've already managed to cause a blister through over tight lacing and this latest pain is through the same cause. Laces adjusted, we'll have to see how that goes...

Rain again! Soaked to the skin within a mile, better today though because I had company. It never ceases to amaze me that you will invariably run slower when you're soaking wet and it's still raining. You might think you would get some extra pace on and get home sooner but it seems that the cold and wet conspires to slow you down.

Great run though, no floods and great route. About 6 miles I think, maybe a little more.

I've decided to make Monday a circuit training day, I feel the need to excercise somewhere warm and dry... otherwise I might begin to evolve webbed feet...
