After doing the marathon once in 2008, I resolved to do it again in 2010, but my training faultered miserably and the best I could salvage was the deferment of my place until 2011.
You can only defer for one year, and London is now becoming notoriously impossible to get in to (especially after Virgin abolished the 5-year rule this year, booo!), so it's pretty much make or break.
Why would anyone want to run a marathon? It's a bloody long way, but no messing, no excuses, no delays, this time I'm going to attack and crush this event, hard. I'm sticking to 10k's after this, so this is probably one last gasp at youthful endevour before my hair falls out and my legs drop off.
Sponsoring me will make me love you like no random stranger has ever loved you before, so dip into that wallet and withdraw a crispy credit card of fiscal support. Cheers!
The initial £59.87 'raised offline' is the sponsorship gathered from three lovely people who sponsored me before I crapped out last time around, so much love is pre-approved to the following:
* bewardthelizards42 (Bee)
* 404notfound
