In 2009 I started blogging as an attempt to keep a diary about my training for the Silverstone Half Marathon,  (which I completed).

Now...I'm attempting to revive this dying "habit" as I prepare for the London Marathon! Some may ask why. Well, it's always been something I wanted to do - bucket list - but not "Complete a Marathon" - it's more precise "Complete the London Marathon". After years of failing to gain a place I finally got one this year.

I'm not a runner, hate running - I find it boring (heard these words before?). But there is something good, an immense feeling of achievement that comes over me when I complete a set distance - achieving something that I never thought I could do.....will that feeling become addictive?

My training plan is currently not badly off track (affected by the snow). Planning to run a 6 - 7 mile run on Sunday. The longest distance I've run non-stop before is 10 miles (4 years ago) but having done that once means I know 7 miles is achievable.
