I was 19, impressionable and had just seen the Stafford half marathon pass my house, and I thought to myself "I would like to run a marathon". Fast forward to March 11th 2010 and my 20th Birthday, I realised I was 20 and no closer to that goal, it was then that I resolutely said I wanted to run a marathon before I was 30.

Fast forward back to last Friday once more, I sat in a pub in Oxford, after my 2nd pint (and a good way through my 3rd) slightly tipsy, and mentioned this in passing to one of my colleagues, and he came back at me with "I'm running a marathon, why not train with me? Why not make it THIS year?"
So here I am, the furthest I have 'ran' to date in one session being my secondary schools 800m race, I have just signed up for the Chester Marathon on the 6th of October 2013, Now its real and true! Expect a post everyday I go 'running'. The clock is ticking
