London Marathon 2010

22Jan10

Well, after a couple of years trying to get into the London Marathon I’ve finally managed to get place – via my Triathlon club (PACTRAC).

Getting the news that I’d made it through the clubs selection process wad a great combination of joy, then panic as I realised that I would actually have to run 26 miles.

Training starts in earnest this week, and ramps up to the full schedule from next Monday. Plenty of time to go, but plenty to do.

I shall use the oppurtunity to raise money for Habitat for Humanity, an excellent charity suggested by Kathy, and probably very apprproiate for someone interested in the built environment.

I’ll post details about how you can sponsor me in the next few days. I’ve also applied for matched funding from Barclays so fingers crossec I’ll get that and raise lots of money for them.

Long run tomorrow, not sure I’m looking forward to it.
