As you may or may not know I am running the Marathon following a successful ballot application which means I can not only choose which charity to run for but I am not bound by a certain amount I need to raise.
Therefore can I ask that you spare some change and follow my link to my justgiving page

Thanks
This is my first attempt at a blog, follow me as I train for the 2011 Virgin London Marathon. I have run previously in a time of 4 hrs and this time I am aiming for 3 hours 30 mins !!!

Getting there ............
A couple of updates for you all, last Wednesday saw a 3mile run at luncthime then a 4.5 mile run on Thursday night. Rest Day Friday, garage clear out Saturday so treated that as an upper body work out!! Sunday was spent mentally training myself by listening to my nephew ask continuous questions for 7 hours and point out that the number 7 bus normally goes here and that the trains that run from Liverpool Street to Romford normally have a pink interior! So if I am honest my mind wasn't really up for running after that !
Monday saw a fresh start to the week and a post work run of 4.5 miles again, pretty fast one too as i chased to other runners down as I cam to the end of my route. It did however take me a good ten minutes to recover in the kitchen whilst trying to have a conversation with Mrs Doyle!
Another lunchtime run today saw me take in a good chunk of Regents Park and a 4 mile session.
Rest Day tomorrow then back on for Thursday
Adios
Training totals to add
Wednesday 5th - 3 miles
Thursday 6th - 4.5 miles
Monday 10th - 4.5 miles
Tuesday 11th - 4 miles
Total training miles since New Years Eve - 31.5 miles

On the Road Again
Well I am back and am pleased to report that the running shoes are out of the cupboard too !!
After a lengthy lay off due to Mother Nature and her scattering of snow, an icy follow up and too many mince pies and mulled wine over the festive period, I am back in training mode once more.
New Year's Eve - 6.5 miles
Sunday 2nd Jan - 4.5 miles
Tuesday 4th Jan - 4.5 miles
Legs are feeling it and they also seem like it is all coming back to them, going to have a lunchtime run out today too.
