gowen's Journal: I'll try and keep this up

I'm not much of a blogger. I've never kept a diary, its as much as I can do keep my address book and appointment list up to date... but, I am usually pretty good at keeping a running log as the training builds up before the couple of marathons I've run, so I'll try and steal some of slashdot's bandwidth make a few notes ... Theres every chance that this will die a death, though.

Some preliminaries:

1. I've got a number for the 2002 London Marathon (thats April 14, fact fans). Its 26.2 miles, and I'm not in shape to do it. I'm not unfit, but I'm not eating very healthily, and I'm certainly not marathon fit.
2. I'm running at least 4 times a week at the mo', with either a fifth (long) run or a game of rugby at the weekends.
3. I'll try and make notes about how its going at least once a week, just so I can look back for motivation when the training gets soul destroying. Maybe, just maybe, I'll succeed.
