So this is the start of my bid to run the london marathon 2010...
Let start with a big thank you for sponsoring me, it is the second time i'm running the marathon, but was injured training back in 2006, so this hopefully will be the one where i get to the start line lol...
I'm running with my brother who is running for astama uk, a good charity to run for also. So fingers crossed we both will be crossing that finishing line together...
I will keep this updated with who training is going. will put video and photos of how its going. should be fun lol...
I'm running for PHAB KIDS because they do very good work encouraging kids and adults to come together on equal terms, to achieve complete inclusion within the wider community.
Thank you again for your support

Well i have started my training in the gym, with a setback of a cold, i'm now almost fighting fit lol....I have a gym programe running and when that finishes at the end of Oct 09, i will hit the road. I plan to do a run/walk programe and build up that way, I'm no runner so small steps that will hopefully lead to big ones..
I have also started at weightwatchers again, so with all this going on to my body i should be fit enough to start the marthon.
More updates to follow..................
