View all Flora London Marathon 2009 training blogs

Overview

Ok, so most people have had a chuckle when I've told them I've entered the ballot for a place in 2009's London Marathon but i really, really want to do it. Every year since I can remember I sit and watch it on the Sunday morning and tell myself one year I'll do it. Hopefully next year will be that year.

There are a ton of reasons I want to do the run. It's on my list of things to do before i die (according to my little bro it'll be the last thing i do before i die ;o)). I need to get fit, seriously. I need to lose my post baby weight and get active to help me get better from the depression I've been suffering from since I married the wrong man!! And I want to do some fundraising for Diabetes Uk hopefully. So it's mainly selfish reasons for entering the ballot and the marathon but some good will obviously come out of it for other people.

Fingers crossed I will get my place but if not then I will just try again next year... It's gonna be a long 10 months training cos I can't run for 5 minutes at the mo!! x
