Running 26.2 miles... what the hell am I doing? Again!

========================

UPDATE: I done it! My time was 3hrs 59 mins! Thanks to everyone who sponsored this worthy cause - you have done a very good deed and should sleep soundly tonight

YOU CAN STILL SPONSOR ME ON THIS PAGE AS I'M STILL DOING WHAT I CAN FOR THE CHARITY

========================

I completed the London Marathon last year after saying "I bet I could do that!". Since then I've had strange thoughts of doing the distance again so I will be running the New York marathon on Sunday 4th November 2007! What the hell am I doing!?

I am running to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
Many of you know that my best buddy Will (Robinson) was born with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) which makes this whole experience very personal. The money I raise will really help those with CF by improving their lives and perhaps find a cure - Do you know that when the CF Trust was founded in 1964, life expectancy was just five years. It now stands at 31 - not good enough, but getting better!!

I hope to put in a reasonable performance time wise as I have learnt a valuable lesson from doing the London marathon already - wise man say do not to start at back with superheroes and 9 people dressed as running centipedes, no matter what the organisers tell you!... wise man push in and start nearer front!

I still wouldn't say I'm much of a runner but I believe you can achieve great things if you put your heart into it! My training has most definitely started and I'm finding I have to stay away from certain social events - I can assure you my alcohol  temptation is huge 

Thank you for taking the time to read through... and thank you to everyone that has already given so generously in person...I'm going to enjoy New York and give it my all!
