This blog may take on an interesting twist having just heard I have secured a place in next year’s London Marathon. Whilst this was not confirmed I could kid myself it wasn’t happening – but now it is, well that’s a very different matter. Eddie Izzard eat your heart out! I am going to need my massages more than ever and they will cease being a treat or indulgence but a sheer necessity to keep me on the go. Six years ago I had never run beyond the end of the road, five years ago the prospect of doing the Great North Run ( half marathon) was monumental – have now done two, and three years ago today I was little more that six weeks away from doing the NY Marathon. So, I know what I’m talking about when I wonder what madness has got into me and propelled me to apply to run London – and now there is no going back!
