I hear the Amsterdam Marathon is flat? Good, as this is the first one I've done (I imagine it will also be the last) I started running last February but I am by no stretch of the imagination a runner. I managed a half marathon last year, limping round after a bravado fuelled drunken bet. I have 10 months and will document my success (or failure) here as either a demonstration that what they say is true "everyone has one marathon in them" or as a cautionary tale to those as foolish as me...

past 2 weeks
Took a bit of a shortcut last week, went for a run in the countryside and only did about 7 miles as I had a very important birthday party to attend and didn't want to end up running miles and miles by accident and being late. Got back up to standard last Sunday though, I've decided, or rather my left hip has decided, that I'm upping my mileage too quickly. So I'm going to stick to 10 mile runs through April rather than pushing up to 12. 10 milers are starting to feel ok now, but I'll admit there is a bit of walking involved (only up some pretty steep hills mind) but there are a fair few in Sheffield! Got a pretty nice route now- multi tasking by house hunting on my way round the nicest areas of the city :)
