FULLERS TRIPLE CROWN, THE challenge of my life! is:

The Grim Challenge 3rd December 2011 (run wade and crawl 8  miles off road) http://original.grimchallenge.co.uk/

The Reading Half Marathon 1 April 2012 (13.1 miles) http://www.readinghalfmarathon.com/

THE Virgin London Marathon 2012 22 April 2012 (26.2 miles) http://www.virginlondonmarathon.com/

 Hello folks, here we go again! I have hit 40 this year and I feel I am getting more dynamic every year, i dont ever want to stop getting up in the morning feeling that I need to do something more. There really isnt anything i like more than to push, myself especially with a multitude of benefits,  The challenges are getting harder, and the stakes, ever more serious as i test my will power, physical ability and "dedication" (cue Roy Castles "theme tune lol")

I have always been quietly confident in most things, this is very very different, my confidence will ONLY come from building it up from the long hours that I must put into training for this. Training text book style using schedules and guidance from the internet.

I must say that when Roy Castle guaranteed me a place in the London Marathon and I got off the phone, tears came to my eyes, i think with happiness as it was the day after my Mums anniversary of her death to lung cancer. I felt that I had to do it (much like Chief playing poker with an "up and down straight draw (gutshot)), and that I have committed to another time consuming project/challenge that will be life consuming for 6 months. Relying on BiPolar energy works great in a lot of parts of my life, this, there is no cheating. If you dont train for it, you just cannot complete it, simples!

I am in the process of updating my blog to be a kind of training diary, along with the ups and downs and brutally honest feelings of how I am getting on with juggling the training with running the websites, working at the poker club and trying to enjoy my greatest hobby, playing poker. The blog is here: http://transistor1.blogspot.com/
