Welcome along

So this is it. I've been seriously thinking about running a marathon for a couple of years now. And I've been wanting to run for an amazing cause, and have a shot at raising a huge amount of money.

Macmillan Cancer Support has been my number one choice all along (hence the green background), and I've been hassling them for a place for months! Today I finally go the call.

I'm writing this blog purely for me (I'm not arrogant enough to believe people really want to read this stuff!), as an attempt to and motivate myself via an all-too-public catalogue of training runs and distances. If anybody actually reads it, all the better!

I feel suspiciously like I'm coming down with something, so I'm off for an early night so I can run tomorrow...
