I recently reread His Dark Materials and I still absolutely loved it! No wonder it’s near the top of the BBC Big Read list.
I would totally read the entire series all over again!

How I did it: Personally, I had been running fairly consistently for about 2 years before I tackled my first full marathon. Prior to that, I had run a good handful of 5k's and 10k's, mixed in there with 3 half-marathons. I trained really hard for at least 3 months.Once I finished, it was most exhilirating feeling that I ever had. This was even more true after I finished my second marathon, just 3 weeks later. Read how I did it…
