London Marathon 2008... What Have I Done???

Err... Nic and I have decided to run the London Marathon 2008!!! I must have been half-alseep/semi conscious when I agreed to this, but never a girl to go back on her word, I'm going to do it! Which means (at time of writing) I have 11 months, 8 days, 19 hours, 17 minutes and 34 seconds to get fit - or so says the little clock on the official website. AARRRGGHH!

I've contacted both the Heart UK and the British Heart Foundation chartities as I have a family history of heart disease and so want to do my best in raising sponsorship to go towards these causes. Both have replied saying they would like me to run with their team, however, I still have to apply through the general ballot in August. I'm quite excited about it actually, even though I did have a minor panic attack as soon as the words "Ok, I'll do it", escaped from my mouth. Then while pondering over the details later on that evening, the phrases "I'm going to die", "How on earth did I think I'd be able to run a marathon?", and "Oh no, I won't be able to have any junk food for a whole year", were running through my mind. I'm sure you don't even need reminding how it went the last time I gave up junk food!

Well enough of the whinging, I've even put it in print just to secure it further. Now I'll have to go through with it or you all can laugh at me for my failure ha ha. So on that note, I'm off to get me a stick of celery to munch on... maybe even go for a run! I'll keep you posted :-D xXx

P.S. I couldn't find a 2008 logo so had to make do with the 2007 one, just incase you were wondering...
