So that I can say I’ve done it and whilst I still can. Although I like running I hate the after feeling though.

How to run the London Marathon
It made me
proud
 "amazing experience, ran 26.2 miles in 4 hours 27 min and 7 seconds and have no injuries. feeling great. "
How I did it: i ran for Shelter, they provided a lot of support and help. I trained 4/5 times a week most week, except if I had any aches and pains when i eased up. I followed by training plan pretty closely but never ever ditched a long run. I also did the Alexander Technique and had weekly sessions with a teacher, it really helped to keep me injury free, and my movements free and positive. Lessons & tips: do the alexander technique Resources: runnersworld |

It made me
Proud
How I did it: I suffered my second Miscarriage on the weekend of the 2008 London Marathon and decided then and there that I would run next years. I am not one to sit round feeling sorry for myself and it was the positive action I needed to take to get back on my feet. I applied that day in April. In October the ballot results were announced and I did not get accepted. I straight away applied for a charity place with The Miscarri… Read how I did it…

I really want to do this, it looks like such an achievement. I have good fitness, but it’s just getting round to it!
sweetie_candykim wishes people would search for goals before making new ones
I entered last year but didn't get a place

Then I forgot to enter until the afternoon, and it said something like ‘due to the amount of entries we have said to close the website for a while’ then I forgot to check again.
I entered last year but didn’t get a place, and by the time the charity places became available it was too late to train because I can only run about 10m. Oh well there is always next year….. to enter :)
The ultimate running goal!

Once (and if!) I have successfully completed my other goals on 5k’s, 10k’s and half marathons I hope to still be motivated and enjoying it enough to embark on the very tough challenge of training for and completing a marathon!

I have been accepted in the 2008 London Marathon but I have decided to defer it for a year until 2009.
I did have time to get fit enough to do it but I would of had to really push myself and I’d rather be running properly for a year and have some experience of distance running before I do it so I’m deferring it.
In the meantime I am going getting fitter and getting back into running and start small with a 5k race in around May time and then building up to a 20 mile race at the beginning of 2010.
