The Road to VLM 2012
I am a marathon runner! I ran my first marathon - the Virgin London Marathon on 25th April 2010 in 04:54:00, so what next?
VLM 2012, obviously.
Having been lucky enough to get a ballot place in 2011 and deferred it, my 2012 place is now confirmed. Bring it on! VLM 2012, here I come.

Forgive me father, for I have sinned. It has been far too long since I last blogged.
Please excuse my recent absence. Unfortunately i've not had much to report. After my last blog I followed this with an absolutely dismal and painful run, so much so t...
...it improved the enjoyment 10 fold!
Firstly thank you for all your suggestions and empathy in my last post. Nice to know it’s quite normal to feel a bit lost and demotivated.
After a whole heap of procrastination, I went out for my second run this e...
So I went for my first run yesterday, it was short – a couple of miles, if that, 20 mins, just to see get used to the feeling of running again. My knees have been feeling decidedly old of late; I really must resume my pill taking which stopped when I w...
This is going to be a long one so either just look at the pics and pretend you've read it, or make yourself comfortable!
You might think I am referring to my first run since the BIG day, but not so, I am actually referring to the mighty Mt Kinabalu clim...
