Run baby run: Part 1

Right. Hold onto your hat people. I'm inspired. I'm going to run the race for life in July in rememberance of my Grandma and uncle who died of bowel and lung cancer respectively.

It's 5km. I know that may sound like nothing to some of you but I'm determined to be in adequate shape to run the whole bloody thing. And then?

Well, I'm considering running a half marathon. It may not happen this year. Or maybe it will but it would have to be the latter half of the year, as I will need all the time I can to seriously train (hard) and improve my endurance. I don't think there will be any runs here in the UK at the end of the year as it will be winter ... so maybe I'll investigate what half-marathons are scheduled back in Oz.

So, I am now off to Waterstone's bookshop to see if I can find a book on training to run a marathon. I do kind of remember I friend of mine mentioning a book matching this description way back when I considered running to be a sport for the insane. That very well may explain why I can't even vaguely recall the title of the book!
