So it begins...

But 1st let's see what's on the TV... oh look a Squirrel.
and that's how my training has started for my challenge. I will be documenting every inch I travel on my journey to obscurity in the marathon world.

So far I have managed the right look, shorts - Check, running vest - Check, trainers - check

Today was launch day ... announcing my attempt at introducing major harm to myself in running 13.1 miles.

I asked a friend for some advice on the subject as he has run multiple marathons, it is sage advice and one I plan to put in to action.

So for those that are following on the advice was "Running a marathon is rather like walking, you put one foot in front of the other, but just faster" I was glad that he was able to provide me with invaluable information as I had originally planned on hoping... now that I know it basically fast walking what can go wrong.
