My Marathon Challenge

I'm challenging myself to run 26.2 miles at the 2012 Brighton Marathon. I've never run a marathon before so this is going to be a diary of my progress, GOOD and BAD over the next few months

I love running

Marathon journey starts here

This is hopefully going to be a lovely story which finishes in me crossing the finishing line of my first marathon in Brighton on 15 April 2012 in under 4 hours. If this doesn't happen I am going to be DEVESTATED. So, it's just going to have to happen. Whatever it takes. Now I've written it down it's official and there is no going back, which is quite scary.

Before I can move forward, I need to reveal my running history:

First Half Marathon:
Race Your Pace March 2010 : 2hours 9mins

Royal Parks October 2010: 2hours 4 mins

Reading Half March 2011 : 1hour 55mins (Hooray for finally breaking 2 hours)

Great South Run October 2011 (10 miles):  1h16 mins

So those are my times to date. Hopefully they will keep getting faster or I stand no hope in HELL of finishing in under 4 hours.
