Today I've been thinking about this simple phrase and wondering what it means for the next 5 and a half months. Yesterday I received the fantastic news, that HOPEHIV had accepted my application to run the 2011 London Marathon and to raise funds for them. So theres obviously a lot of excitement on my behalf, yet also I'm quite aware of the dedication and commitment this challenge is going to be. I want to not simply finish the marathon, but enjoy it and run well.
I've set my training start date to Monday, between now and then I need to sort out my training plan, have an idea of the time I am looking to run the race in, sort kit and gear out, and think about the long road to raising sponsorship money. Quite a challenge, but I have been giving the opportunity to push my body's limits and raise money for a great charity, so this is definitely a challenge worth doing!
Hello and welcome to my Blog, I will be using this page to keep you all up to date with my preparation and training for the London Marathon on the 17th April 2011.
I am very excited to be running on behalf of a fantastic charity called HOPEHIV, if you are interested in the work which they do then please visit their website (www.hopehiv.org). I will also seek to inform you about the charity in some of my Blog posts. If you would like to sponsor me then please visit my fundraising page using the link below:
I will try to keep this updated each week between now and the big day.
