Glad you've made it over to my blog to read all about my 'adventure' that training for a marathon is going to be. That's what my Dad would say it is, so that's how I'm going to treat it.
So why am I going to drag this 49 year old body around Brighton for 26.2 miles I hear you ask?
Good question. I ask myself that all the time! If I'm honest, it seems to be the natural thing to do after running for about 18 years. It's also a huge challenge and one that will get harder as I get older. So I'm going to try and cross it off the bucket list as soon as I can.
How long's it going to take me?
Why blog about it?
I'm doing this blog for a number of reasons:
- for those who have kindly sponsored me to see how I'm getting on. I want to give them something back for the money they've put in. They can see that I'm earning their donation to the Winston's Wish charity;
- so I remember what it's like to train for a marathon - the highs, the lows, just in case I do decide to do it again (I'm told it's like childbirth - you forget the pain within a day or so and only remember the euphoria), and finally;
- because it's going to be one of the biggest achievements in my life.
Tell me how mad I am!
I'd love to get your comments so comment away. That way I'll know I'm not talking to myself which we all know is the first sign of madness. In saying that, I must be a bit loopy to be doing a marathon!
Wish me luck and thanks for joining me on my adventure.
