A Year of Firsts

Happy New Year to everyone.

It's been a few months since my last blog, I won't bore you with everything so here's a brief outline since October of whats been happening.

At the fininsh line of the Cardiff half, I staggered around, I looked for Amanda we found and looked at each other. Exhausted, tired, nothing left in the tank we both agreed there was no way we could run a full Marathon!

One week after Cardiff, and as the pain subsided, and my legs started to feel normal again, the mind started to think that maybe I could run 26.2 miles.

After the new year, the calendar came out and I started to plan 2012, as I marked the different events that I wanted to do, it became apparenet to me that 2012 is a year of first for me.

In addition to entrering Chester Marathon, I've also joined Celtic Tri , and plan to take part in Triathlons & Duathlons throughout 2012.
