I wanted to do a 10 miler today but woke up feeling feverish and coldish so rather fed up. I'm not doing nearly enough miles, as it is.

Hello Everyone - Starting Again
And so we start again; both this blog and marathon training. Having failed to get a place in the ballot for the 2012 Virgin London Marathon (VLM), or through a charity I was pretty well happy to let this year pass by without a marathon. Now, I'm a guide at the Royal Navy Submarine Museum on the submarine HMS ALLIANCE, which is looking to raise funds to complete its refit. I'd let it slip that I'd run marathons before. A little while later the Director mentions that the Museum is hoping to get 5 places in the VLM through Prince William and Prince Harry's Charities and would I be interested in joining the team...... the bid for places was successful and so I signed up.
I'm 55 now and the wrong side of 15 stone so I'm not finding the running easy.. I'm getting out on the road regularly, even in this bloody freezing weather, and doing the miles. My legs are feeing heavy when I'm running and motivation is hard to come by but I'm persisting s there it is.
We do of course have a Justgiving link and this is it www.justgiving.com/HMSALLIANCEandPete/
and folks can also donate by text by texting DUTW51 £xx to 70070. Just change the xx to the figure you'd like to donate..
