Over the last however many years i've done several half marathons and have always thought i don't have the legs to get round a full 26.2 miles. So, this is (probably) my one and only attempt. I chose Manchester for timing, distance from home and relative flat-ness. (Is that a word?) I was told the training is tough, very tough and i've got to say that at times that is wrong, its horrific :D  Anyway, 4 months and over 420 miles of training later (only 30 to go) and its nearly here. I decided i really ought to be doing this for a charity and plumped for Martin House, a very worthy cause. Please take the time to read about what they do if you don't know who they are and have chance.
