<p>Update:<br />I'm heading off to run this now! You can see where I am on <a href="http://www.endomondo.com/profile/1375599">my Endomondo page </a>or see my times on the <a href="http://www.stockholmmarathon.se/Start/index.cfm?Lan_ID=3">Stockholm Marathon site</a> where I am runner number&nbsp;18458. If you haven't donated, you still can.</p> <p>Apparently, I am running the <a href="http://www.stockholmmarathon.se/Start/index.cfm?Lan_ID=3" target="_blank">Stockholm Marathon</a> on May 28th, 2011.</p> <p>This is my first marathon and I've been training for the last several months. I believe there is a greater than 50% chance that I will finish. I'm hoping to finish within 4.5 hours. I am assuming that for most of the race, I will be chased by Vikings, as I have depicted in the image on the left. If there are no Vikings, I will probably be slower but have a greater chance of surviving.</p> <p>I would like to use this misguided endeavour to hit people up for money on behalf of <a href="http://www.msf.org.uk/" target="_blank">Doctors Without Borders / M&eacute;decins Sans Fronti&egrave;res</a>. They are a decent, non-political organisation that gets doctors to where they are needed most in the world. Hopefully there will be at least one in Stockholm to resuscitate my carcass at mile 20.</p> <p>Please donate! Especially if I have donated to whatever you have hit me up for in the past. My employer will match donations which means your cash is going twice as far.</p> <p>As a side note, I'm matching (personally) 10% of whatever is raised (up to 1000GBP) to <a href="http://www.noagendashow.com/" target="_blank">No Agenda</a>, a listener/producer funded podcast that has been my training soundtrack. If, like me, you are fed up with the nonsense spouted by the mainstream media, No Agenda is an interesting alternative. <a href="http://www.noagendashow.com/" target="_blank">Give it a listen sometime</a>.</p> <p>Thanks in advance! (now cough up),</p> <p>Clancy</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
