Tomorrow I find out if I've got a place in the Edinburgh marathon. I'm quite excited. Allan gave me this book for Christmas, and it is giving me inspiration just reading it.
I finally got a warmer top for running at night in (plus some gloves), so I went out after work. Really quite enjoyed my 40 minutes in the fresh air. When I got back, I was wondering how to work out how far I had actually gone. Then my cunning plan struck me... My turnaround point was the Braidburn Inn, so I popped that, plus my home postcode into Yell, and it gave me the exact route I happened to take, as well as the distance covered (1.98 miles each way). 4 miles in 40 minutes is not too bad, given that much of it was hilly.
From my house I've got some good runs, so I'm going to work out some measured distances using Yell. Then I just need to find a big shovel of motivation...
Interestingly, Matthew has also signed up for a marathon challenge, in Berlin. After the excellent time I had their last year, I am really tempted to sign up for that one too. Worst case, if I really hate running that far, I pass or resign my place. Maybe we can get a Mobitopia team together. Frank?Comments
