Marathon - I only wanted a free fleece!!!!!

Right so setting the scene slightly tipsy on bourbon working out in Bahrain with internet connection….always a dangerous thing i find! Doing the odd jog in the heat numpty here thinks you know what lets have a crack at the yearly disappointment of not getting in the London Marathon at least i will get a half decent fleece out of it as a kind of modern day version of the 3-2-1 dusty bin consolation prize………Roll on 6 months and i’m working in Dartmouth when i get a phone call from Lisa at home very excited stating i have a pack from Virgin London Marathon has just arrived ‘great’ i say ‘that will be the yearly disappointment letter!’ (i’ve tried 3 times before) ‘What colours the fleece?’……….’No fleece’ she replies but I’m sure i can see the words “congratulations” at the top of the letter!!!! I won’t repeat the word i may have uttered at this point but it might rhyme with ‘clucking bell’

I went for a lie down in a darkened room!

This Blog is going to kind of record the story from now till April 22nd 2018 of a 42 year old who clearly should know better who will be seen out pounding the streets with a blue baseball cap on the wrong way round delusion that it looks cool but really to stop the sweat blinding him as he drags his sorry carcass round a frankly ridiculous training plan…i have a feeling their may be a few tantrums along the way and more worrying a lot of pain and suffering but we shall see how we get on and try to enjoy it!!!!
