ATHENS here I come - again!!!
I just got my entry for the Athens Classic Marathon confirmed!! WOO HOO!!!!
Sunday 31st October. THE 2500TH ANNIVERSARY RACE. AWESOME IN THE EXTREME!!
Who cares if I can't run, lol. I've entered the POWERWALKING option...
Anyone else got what it takes to do it?? This has got to be an incredible one to do. why not get on there and get in THE BIG ONE, while entries last........
Sponsorship opportunities abound - PM me if anyone is interested....
Also, looks like I'll be on Radio Five Live on saturday night - I'll be in the studio with Stephen Nolan, apparently between 11:30 and midnight, if all goes acording to plan.
Right then, off to find out about powerwalking, and set up a training plan. What's the betting I can walk it faster than I ran it in 2008?
BIG SMILE tonight!!
Mike
