Welcome to my page
I have wanted to run the Flora Marathon since I first heard about it back in secondary school, I used to be one of the years top athletes and I loved my running. However this was over 15 years ago. I have set myself a target of running the 2009 Marathon and have given myself 15 or so months to get ready. I am slightly aprehensive but I know with sheer determination and a huge stubborn streak I WILL do it.
Thank you for reading, I will use this as my progress and humiliation experience :-)

Brooksy 'Warm Welcome ... sounds like a great challenge. Best wishes. Forget the 15-year gap and believe you're still a top athlete ... Can't go wrong. And stubborness is a real virtue for running a Marathon. Cheers!' added 8th Jan 2008
