It's Official - London Marathon 2008

I'm in!!!

Haven't run properly for week, but I'm in and now have to start training properly again, which might be a bit difficult with the current state of my hands/arms, but it is all in a good cause.

Please sponsor me - www.justgiving.com/kevhall

All fundraising will be going to the stroke association, which I am sure many people will have had dealings with. I know I have.

Thanks org'ers.

Congrats! You got a target time?

Just getting round would be good, but I was training for a sub 4 hour, but have only been running for about 11 months.

My half time is 1:46 and my 10k is 47, so I was sort of on target.

nice 1,u gonna leave ur trainin till after xmas

Nah I need to get back into it as soon as I can to build the mileage back up, but with coming off the bike etc. things have been a bit fraught recently.

Going to take this week as my last week off and then start in vein on Monday.

Best of luck, hope the training goes well!!

Thanks all - just got to work out how to raise the money now???

Hey Kev, all the best for the training. 26.2 is a long, hard slog. Do be sure to do the long runs, you don't need to do that many but you do need to do them - if you see what I mean. I'd love to do London again...

Well before eveything went wrong I was happily doing a 17 mile Sunday morning run.........but not too sure now.

10/10 effort. Much more effort than I'd be comfortable with. Platinum reason too. Good luck.
