A long way to run 

Well this is it. 6 weeks of training, personal lent and all my bags backed for my trip to the Dublin Marathon. My first marathon and I leave tomorrow. I'm getting very excited. My plan is to update as much as I can when I'm over there. To anyone who asks why I found this:

Top Ten Reasons to Run A Marathon:


1. A marathon isn't a race, it's 24,000 races.

2. There's no logical reason on earth to run a marathon. Cool, huh?

3. Self-Confidence. Available in a handy 26.2 mile dose.

4. The road to salvation is exactly 26.2 miles long.

5. The Marathon. How an average runner becomes more than average.

6. Marathoning. Or how to single handedly remove the word can't from your
vocabulary.

7. Want to find out who you really are? Try a marathon.

8. Another marathon. Another chance to be your own hero.

9. Trophies rust. Self-esteem doesn't.

10. Marathoning. The triumph of desire over reason.

Wish me luck as every sucessful effort needs it!
