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.

Personal Trainer

It has also come to my attention that the "friend" that talked my into running this silly marathon has secured the services of a "personal trainer" of late, this I believe is the same "personal trainer" that his brother (another marathon runner who is doing Dublin the week before we run New York) uses.  Not wanting to be out done, I now have my own "personal trainer" who is constantly making sure that I get up and get out and do my runs, pushing me to run further, faster, and not to miss a training run.  I have to say, that my dear wife Amy has stopped short of biking alongside me with a megaphone shouting abuse at me, but there is still time.
