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.

Oh The Pain!

So as per usual the body is strong (stop laughing) and the mind is week!


Last week was full of good intentions, I was going to get seriously back into my training schedule following our holiday and rack up the 100 training miles etc. etc. however, with the multiple events that included my wedding anniversary (lovely night out and fantastic dinner with plenty of champers, wine, great steak and creme brulee - not the greatest of training diets) and me turning the ripe old age of 35 (I know, you're all thinking that he doesn't look that old) , which involved a complete day out with Southgate RFC watching the rugby on Saturday, followed by Sunday which hinged on the toss of a coin, the coin won, and we ended up sitting in a beer garden downing shots and playing silly drinking games until I had to be taken home (at least an early night followed).

So, as is becoming a bit of a theme on this blog, this week I mean it, this week I get back into the programme.

I reckon I'm 2 long runs behind on my target which means that the 110 minutes run this weekend is going to be hard, but I'm confident that I'll get back on track, I have to if I am to stand any chacne of finishing on November the 4th (which I have just worked out is 11 weeks from Sunday - bugger).

Oh and it's raining again, great.
