this year, Matthew, I am going to be....

A Marathon Runner. Twice Over.
In the spirit of all things new year resolution like, I have entered 2 marathons!!!
On May 31st, I will do the "marathon shuffle" around the streets and hills of Edinburgh, Scotland, http://www.edinburgh-marathon.com/.
The aforementioned marathon shuffle took me 26.2 miles around the streets and suburbs of Dublin to perfect last October. It was sheer hell but I loved every second of it.

Anyway, to follow up on the success of the Edinburgh Marathon (we've got hi-igh hopes, we've got hi-igh hopes, high, apple pie in the sk-y-y-y-y hopes) I have entered the 30th anniversary of the Dublin Marathon, again round the streets of Dublin. It is on the Bank Holiday Monday in October. 10 days afterh my 30th! Woo Hoo. http://adidasdublinmarathon.ie/

In order to get "fit" and running like Usain Bolt (but perhaps a little slower) I thought that a little incentive, like the Great Ireland Run in the Phoenix Park on April 5th would be "good" fun.http://www.greatrun.org/Events/Event.aspx?id=7 It is a 10k run round the Beautiful Phoenix Park in Dublin and is the first big running event of the year. It is usually a good day out and is somethink to look forward to! and aim for!!!

So now I have put them all in writing, I kind of have to do them!!!
So here's hoping that I get up for a run at 5 in the morning! and the training starts going well!!
