Just to set the record straight, I'm not doing this because I watched the London Marathon the other week! It's because of an entirely different marathon race taking place on another continent.
It's because I listened to Steve Runner's podcast of the 110th Boston Marathon...... and because I'm unfit ..... and because I've been promising myself I'd do this for a year .... and because the clocks went forward making it easier to run before anyone gets up and sees me.
Steve Runner's trial-by-herring-bagel over 26.2 miles was an inspiration as, well, I want to be able to talk sentiently even though I've been running for 5 hours. I listened to this in the car on the way home from work. http://www.steverunner.com and you just can't help admire a man who keeps going even though he's got all the right reasons to stop.
So this is it. I'm going to run.
