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!

Tuesday 20th March

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....
