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.

Holiday is long gone

Ok, just over 4 miles last night (and as it was MB's brithday I had 2 pints and a curry at lunch time, then forgot to eat banana on the train) and just short of 2 miles this morning on my quick run into the office (fastest time yet), both runs where under the 10 mintues 30 seconds per mile mark (I know it's slow compared to all your flighty things, but remember I'm the size of 1.5 normal runners!).


Any way, I'm feeling quite pleased that my holiday doesn't seem to have damaged me too much, but I still have my long run this weekend and I may have to plan a flat route for it, however, It will be off the back of me bringing up my 100th training mile.
