So, reverted to vegetable status following the Brighton marathon in 2010. I have put my name down again for London next year - got to do the London marathon in London Olympics year, right? Having spent a fortune on new kit (always the best bit!) I am now waiting for the promised weekend sunshine to show up. I'm NOT doing my first run in the rain, it will put me off doing another one and my willpower is, obviously, fairly minimal.
I will be starting from scratch again, using the rather marvellous 'Marathon from start to finish'. This will include the core strength exercises, which I neglected in my training for Brighton. This, by the way, was blogged on The Argus website here, and I think I managed to get most of those posts onto here. Anyway, I will be starting with the build up programme which involves a bunch of run-walks getting me to being able to run for 30 minutes non-stop. My new GPS pedometer (which is a multi-sport jobbie, I'm thinking of switching to triathlons in future to reduce the load on the old - 40 bloody years old - knees) has wireless auto connecty thing to the Garmin website where I'll be tracking my progress. If I can share that with you for extra laughs, I will.
Only thing holding me back now is the weather. COME ON SUNSHINE!

Apologies for all who, like me, hate text verification, but Poland is full of scum, hitting me with 10 to 20 spam comments a day and this is the only way to stop it.
