A New Chapter

It's been a long time since I last wrote on here. But a few days ago I was offered a charity place on the Brighton Marathon on 12th April 2015, which I accepted. Which really marks a whole new chapter in my running journey. It's strange to read back over blog posts from when I very first started running, when I've now completed several long races and running is very much a central part to my life. A marathon is a huge undertaking, but I'll be running for a charity that's very close to my heart, and hopefully help raise lots of money and awareness.
I have no idea if 6 months is enough time to get myself shape. It's the Birmingham half marathon next weekend again, which I'm running for the 2nd time (although I'm seriously under-prepared). So  have 6 months to step it up from that to a full marathon. Right now, April seems so far away that I don't think the enormity of the task I have set myself has fully set in. I haven't even written a training programme yet.,
So we shall see how things go I guess. Just got to hope I don't injure myself in next weeks half marathon like I did last year!

Time to Marathon: 6 months and 3 days
