BLOODY HELL ITS HARD !!!!!!!!!!!!

No not that !!!!!!!

I can't be rude on here and anyway it would look very strange if it was when i am out running in public. Training for the London Marathon second time around is harder than i ever imagined it would be.  I last took part in 2005 , the 25th anniversary of the most rewarding and self-gratifying experience you can do in the name of charity without jumping out of a plane .
Back in 2005 i was fitter and  obviously younger, and even though I will only be 34 when 2012 comes around as anyone knows its very difficult to get back in the swing of exercise after so long . Running on a treadmill to put some miles in the legs was a good way to start but if you are going to complete the London marathon street race then you have to put the shifts in on the road to get the knees and ankles prepared for pounding the 26.3 miles once you leave the start line in Greenwich .
I am not quite sure if its safer , but apparently its law to run towards the traffic in the UK , and despite the wearing of a fluorescent training top so to stand out , its more the case of red rag to a bull with one truck driver forcing me into the trees and ditch during a 2 mile jog .
I have 4 hours 32 minutes 51 seconds to beat and It makes me shudder to imagine running for that length of time again , or to look as drained as I did in the photo above , so the aim next year is to run faster ( seems obvious , just need to convince the legs). ........ positive thinking  , as someone very close to me said " man up Deano "Timex Men's T5J571 1440 Sport Digital Resin Strap WatchSearch Amazon.com Sports&Outdoors for sportsSearch Amazon.com for sports
