I am going to run the marathon, here is where you can see how well I'm doing and basically watch me fail.
Wed 18th Nov 09 - The Competitive Inadequacy I ran 3.21 miles in 34min 08sec
I ran my furthest yet today, breaking the three mile barrier, meaning the marathon is still fucking way beyond any form of reach.
Thu 12th Nov 09 - The Training Begins I ran 2.14 miles in 21mins 23sec
In the last week I have both been accepted to run the 2010 marathon and got an iphone.
One is scary to win the other is scary to lose.
I've not really been running for a little while and my latest health kick (star jumps, situps and pressups every day and a distinct lack of drinking) soon slipped into a coma (starbursts, sitdowns, pressing curry and drinking) but now it's back.
Fri 16th Oct 09 - The Early Morning Run I ran some miles in several minutes
It is 9:29am and I am just back from a run. This is remarkable.
For some reason I woke at 7am today.
Well, I wake at that time most days when my better half is getting up for work, but it's normally succeeded by being fast asleep again by half past.
Wed 29th Apr 09 - The Marathon Man I ran 2.54 miles in 24mins 15sec
1. I have been going running on and off (mainly off) for the last year or so.
2. I live near (alarmingly near) where they start the London Marathon each year.
3. I am not doing Edinburgh this year and am looking for a myriad of things to fill the fringe shaped void in my calendar
I think only a fool could not come to the conclusion that I should try and run the marathon next year (even if number two is because it's an easy commute - and is for the same reason I'll never climb everest. Or go anywhere.)
All the money I raise is going to mind - so please donate some here
