It took longer than promised, but today my confirmation arrived and I will officially be running the Edinburgh Marathon for the British Heart Foundation. It's a bit too close to Christmas to start any proper training, but come the New Year I will stop drinking and smoking (for January at least), and instead rely on exercise for my kicks. I'm enrolled at the gym so I don't have to brave the snow, and I'm actually looking forward to getting in shape.
Team "Get Fit or Die Trying" met up last week for some tactical chat. We concluded that the controversial "one foot in front of the other" technique was the best one to go for. Encouragingly no one has started training yet but we all seem keen to take it seriously, which will hopefully lead to some big runs in various cities across the UK before the big event.
Watch this space for details of how to sponsor us, and Happy Christmas one and all!
