1st Marathon 2015

This idea has been a few years in the making. It was first brought up when i joined a running group a few years ago. Since then, i have completed 19 Half Marathons and who knows how many 10 km runs.

Now i'm only a few short months away from my biggest running challenge ever !!

Am i nervous ? Yes. Am i excited about it ? Yes. I have never run for more than 2 3/4 hrs at any one time so the thought of running for around 5 or so hrs is hard to comprehend right now.

I will have lots of experienced people to join me in this first challenge. And also a few more enthusiastic supporters and one of them will be ready with her camera at the first line :-)

There are lots of thoughts going around in my head at the moment about this event, most of them positive. I know the course as i have done the half 5 times and i have run around the bays many times as well.

The prep is well and truly starting now. I have some new shoes for the task ahead.
