Well, after a disappointment earlier this month when I didn't get a place in next tear's London Marathon, I now have a place in the Edinburgh Marathon on June 11 2006. It's a v good consolation prize, and although I write this a week early, it really has made my Christmas.

Ah, yes, I suppose that means I need to start doing some training in the New Year. Hmmm....

I should check spelling. Next year's London Marathon, not next tears - though there will doubtless be a few of them shed.

I am in awe, it takes me all day to recover if I have to run for the bus..... Embarassed

Update - I finished the Marathon in 25 degree heat. Yet it still produced my 2nd fastest time of 4 hours 23 mins 12 secs.

It was also wonderful to be in Scotland for 3 weeks of the World Cup!

Congrats Robin.

Were you running for charity or for "fun"?

Robin
13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to have to change my name. I have only run three.

I'll maybe see you at London next year, if I don't get my annual rejection letter!

Jonathan,

Running marathons is fun, collecting sponsorship money a total nightmare

There once was a place where all the people were happy and content. Everyone was friendly and neighborly. Even the dogs and cats played together.
wow power leveling,
Then one day a stranger was seen walking toward the village: a tall, tall stranger. As the stranger,wow power leveling who was a giant, came closer and closer, the people all ran into their houses and wouldn't come out.
World of Warcraft power leveling,
The giant entered the village. He was enormous,World of Warcraft power leveling towering over everything. All of a sudden a little girl stepped out on her porch. She jumped down from her porch. Her family yelled, "STOP! COME BACK! That's a giant!" But she didn't stop. She began to walk toward the giant.
last chaos gold,
The strangest thing happened.last chaos gold As the child walked toward the giant, he grew smaller and smaller. Soon he was the same size as the girl. As she came beside the giant, she towered over him. She stooped down and gently picked the giant up in her hands, asking, "What's your name?"
aoc power leveling,
The giant whispered,aoc power leveling "My name is F-E-A-R! Help me!! I have a terrible problem. I guess I look strange. When I meet people they are afraid of me. And when people are afraid of me, I suddenly grow into a giant and everybody runs away from me. YOU are not afraid of me, so I stayed small. Do you get it? It's crazy! Please help me!"
aoc power leveling,
"I can take you for a walk through our village,aoc power leveling" the girl responded. "I want everyone to hear of your problem. When they know the truth, they will no longer be afraid of you. While we are going from house to house you can look at me all the time, and then you will stay the same size as you are now.
Final Fantasy XI GIL,
"But before we go,Final Fantasy XI GIL let's change your name. What do you want to be called? YOU should not be called FEAR, because YOU are not afraid. It's the people who look at you who fear you. That's what causes you to grow into a giant."
