So, I said that I'd run a marathon. Among the really clever things that I've done in my life this ranks pretty low, but its not at the bottom; I used to play rugby.
The marathon in question is the inaugural Brighton Marathon, in 2010. Now, as far as I'm concerned 2010 is the future, which maybe made my initial decision seem less daunting when I made it. Of course 2010 was actually only two and a half months away when I decided to do this, and may even be here by the time you are reading this. I have, at the time of writing, just under six months to get myself up to scratch, so it's a good thing I've already started then, isn't it? This is going to be fun.
Regardless, I think doing this is going to be really worthwhile. I'm running on behalf of a Brighton charity, Leo House at Home. I like this, not just because I think that Leo House do awesome work, which they do, but because they do that work here in Brighton, where I live, so it all ties together - I'll be supporting people in Brighton by running around Brighton. A lot.
As for me: for those who don't know me my name is Amsel and I'm a bit of a goth (I'm also a bit of a metaller, but don't tell the other goths that). I'm running this training blog so that you can find out trivial details like how well I'm doing as well as important information about how my hair dye is holding up, but you can go and donate at my JustGiving page too. Do it now. It'll be great.
