My personal message:

Hi all,

As many of you may well already know (due to my incessant moaning about blisters, sore feet, painful shins, achy knees etc, and occasional manic hyperactivity following a good long run) I am running the New York Marathon on 2nd November 2008!

It is my first, and could well be my last, marathon, but I feel fit and ready and wish it were tomorrow!  (mostly so that I could put the tick in the box and go back to sitting on my bum).

I now have an intricate understanding of the anatomy of the lower limbs, in particular the foot (mine is flat, sub-optimal for endurance running), and have fully used up my NHS/BUPA quota for the year.  If anyone needs a good physio/orthopeadic surgeon I've got some great recommendations  (anything good enough for David Beckham/Wayne Rooney's feet is good enough for mine).

Thanks to all those who've put up with me and supported me- I would have given up long ago without you.

Also big thanks to Mum and Gem for coming out to New York as my cheerleading team- we'll have a great weekend!

Sponsorship is greatly appreciated- I have no "target" as such as I entered independantly- all pennies will be going to a great cause.  Many thanks in advance!

Charlie
