<p>Oh God, this again. So I've been connived into running the Brighton Marathon once more. I don't remember how this happened, I was drunk or someone's life was at stake or something. Nevertheless it has meant a winter of padding up and down the seafront braving howling winds, freezing rain, wrenched limbs, gunfire, hungry bears, nipple rash and other miscellaneous hideous terrors.</p> <p>Your side of this bargain you never knew you'd made is merely to fork over a modicum of gold for my elected charity, Impact Initiatives. They do a lot of good work in the local community which you can read about <a href="http://www.impact-initiatives.org.uk/our_services/overview.php">here</a>. They are deserving of your coin, and even a small donation will help.</p> <p>The race is next Sunday 15th April, so the fundraising timescale is a little tight. I've been wrestling with various foot/leg injuries for over a month now and it was touch-and-go as to whether I'd go through with it. The training schedule has been somewhat interrupted but I'll bluster through somehow I'm sure.</p>
