A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step


You know when you wake up in the middle of the night with that sick feeling deep in the pit of your stomach; it’s usually when you remember something really, really important that you should have done, but haven’t ...And no! It’s not the fact that I haven’t even started the Christmas shopping, or organized the turkey...it’s the fact that in 4 months and 20 days I have a marathon to run, and I have done nothing about it, nothing at all! Oh don’t get me wrong, I have had the lovely Andy (will explain about him later) nagging me, and I know I should have started the fundraising and training by now, but, I admit, I am fantastic at finding other things to do instead...
So, I have set up this new blog (here's the old one) and told myself to get a grip...only to remember my gym closes today for a month for refurbishment! I don’t think the 900 metre run up and down MK shopping centre and the 163 yard dash round Toys R Us are going to work...I am going to have to come up with a serious plan. Great timing! Its cold, it’s dark and I have Christmas to organize. Ok so the fundraising will have to wait, but for now, I have to get back in shape. It’s all very well completing the marathon, but then spending the next seven months celebrating the fact that I have the medal does nothing for the hips!!

Now, if you would excuse me please, I am off to create some sort of get fit quick plan......
