Continuing a theme of saying, 'yes, sure, sounds great' before thinking, next Sunday I'm gonig to be pounding the streets of London town, running my second marathon. Those of you who have good memories may remember that I did the same thing back in the year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Seven, on what turned out to be a horribly hot April day, finishing in a time of 7hrs, 50min, 23sec. You may also remember that I mentioned that I was able to count the blisters on my feet without having to remove my socks.
I, on the other hand, have totally forgotten all of that and so when asked if I fancied doing it again jumped at the chance... what was I thinking...???
Now my first marathon was for me, just to see if I could do it... I didn't want to take money for sponsorship because there was the small chance that I might just fail... This year is different. Because I have done the marathon before my sheer subbon nature will not allow me not to cross the finish line, however I'm not really into the whole collecting money off of people so here's the deal. If you want to sponser me to run the London Marathon my favoured charity is YOUR favourite charity. Next time you see one of their collectors pop a couple of quid in the tin and say it's cause I ran the marathon for them.
I am also putting together a playlist of motovational tracks to have on my ipod for when the going gets tough (round about mile 16 and most of the Isle of Dogs) and I'm looking for suggestions. What would you have playing to keep you going??
Wish me luck.... I tihnk I'll need it!!
