I'm going to run a marathon.

I am currently watching the London Marathon on T.V.  and have decided that I want to run it next year. It may seem self indulgent to write a blog about it, but I am actually just writing it so there is no going back. If anyone reads this, or even if I think anyone reads this, it will help motivate me not to give up. 


I am the highest weight you can be for my age and height without being classed as overweight, very unfit and a binge drinker. I am not a good runner, but when I was younger I was thin and fit and used to run cross country, so I have hope. 


First things first, I need some running shoes, and will go to the shop either later today or tomorrow to buy some, and a good sports bra too. I have been doing some research online for training programs and have found one I like: http://www.marathonrookie.com/marathon-training.html. However, you can't start the program until you can run for 30 minutes non-stop, which I am no-where near. At most I can run for 10 minutes, so I have a lot of work to do before I can start training properly! 


Here we go anyway, I've started.
Wish me luck!


Blogs are so cheesy.
