Yesterday was day one of week one.  That means I have 16 weeks until the London Marathon and 21 weeks until Edinburgh Marathon!!

I went for my first training run last night - an easy 10km with a couple of km hard sprints at the end.  I wasn’t the only one getting serious at the gym, the guy on the treadmill next to me looked like he was going to burst a vessel or something in his efforts!  I feel kinda proud that I can keep moderately composed during a hard session :o)  I really don’t think the “wild cockatoo with its tail being pulled” look works too well on me.

Anyway, I met another London Marathon Runner on my tour of China.  Nothing like a little bit of friendly competition huh?  I wonder if I can convince Ben to run in costume with me….?
