You may be wondering what on earth made me decide to run the Brighton Marathon, at times I wonder too, but my trainings going well.  So far I'm running about 11 miles quite comfortably and in November will be doing the Gosport 1/2 marathon.

Last week someone helpfully offered to take me on a run over the Dovwns (10 miles, they assured me)  nearly 17 miles and 3 hours  later we finally returned home soaking wet and knackered.  My wife was on the verge of calling the air ambulance - what did I learn?  Nipples, keep your nipples protected my legs might have been okay, but boy my nipples were sore!!!

Fri 13 Nov - As a stepping stone I'll be doing a half marathon this weekend, but have you seen the weather forecast, gale force winds and running along the solent, probably find myself on the isle of wight before I know it.  For all those really interested you'll be pleased to know my nipple problem has been resolved, I recommend anti-chafe, but I think my breastfeeding days are over!!!

Sun 15 Nov - Finished in 1hour 54 minutes, which was pretty okay, but more impressed with the free fruit cake, drink and biscuit. Definately doing it again next year and try to get two goodie bags!
