So I've finally got round to doing the London marathon, after threatening to enter ever since I've lived in London. The plan is to complete it in under 4hrs (03:59:59 will do just fine!) which I'm reasonably confident of doing.

I'm raising money for 'MacMillan Cancer Support' who do lots of great work supporting those with cancer. Many of you will know that my dad died of cancer in 1999, so since then I've tried to do a few bits to raise money for related charities. He was a bit of a runner in his time, so it seemed nice to follow (slowly!) in his footsteps.
