ENTRY NO: 189071

It's arrived, I am now officially registered for the 2007 ING New York City Marathon.
Yes that's right, on November the 4th I will take to the streets of New York in an attempt to run for 26.2 miles.
There are many reasons for me doing this ranging from a need to get fit and a long desire to actually achieve something, but mainly it's for the challenge and charity, I am running for The Anthony Nolan Trust who help save lives from leukaemia by providing lifesaving donors for patients in need of a bone marrow transplant. Having lost 2 friends; Mickey Bundle and Johnny Allen to Leukaemia in the past 3 years and having watched my fellow rugby player Sam Hart walk single-handedly from Newcastle to London, I have been inspired to throw on my running shoes and to go and do something a bit silly, 26.2 miles it is.

Blog Launched

So today I have launched my blog in an attempt to make sure I do it, and to make sure I keep training (because I'm really going to need to). On my blog over the coming months you will be able to follow my training progress, tell me how stupid you think I am or send me words of encouragment!

On here you can see when I run, how far I run and how fast I'm running, as well as the goals that I'm setting for myself as part of my training, so I really need to keep it up.

I look forward to getting ALL your comments.
