Resting today.
I attended a meeting of the Dudley District Business Club in the evening and was very pleased to see the speaker that evening was David Healey a blind marathon runner.
Not only did he have a great story to tell he was very interesting to speak to and offered some great advice (this year will be his seventh consecutive London marathon). Next year he's organised a triple seven event for himself, following in the footsteps of Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Seven Marathons on Seven consecutive days on Seven different continents. Amazing! He's raising money for a different 'blind charity' in each country.
Dave is a real inspiration, he makes you realise that nothing is impossible, you only make it so when you think it so....
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!
