Dartford Roadrunners dropped a letter (after my 10 mile run in January) asking whether I was interested in joining. That's a possibility as I was already thinking about that. Their training session would be a bit of mission getting to on time. I would have to run just even get there! However they are pretty cheap and looking past the marathon, I would like to do other activities aside from running, this may well be the way forward.

Exercising: -
Running: -

Daily Wrap (26/2/2008)
I am slowly getting disillusioned about the marathon. It's not the actually running that's the problem. It's partly raising the funds. It's kind of stalled at the moment. It's also consuming a lot of my time. Today was just awful, case in point I snapped at someone for saying that they wouldn't sponsor me. Though later I explained the reason behind the marathon, I think he understood.
The earlier mentioned 'Circle Line Challenge' looks to have possibly hit the buffers because after a word with Macmillan, they suggest that I would need permission from the station and if I were to do any kind of public collection I would probably need a permit from the local authorities. I probably still do it anyways as a practice run.
Also when I got stuck on the way home, so I didn't get home to nearly 8:30pm. So that wrecked any chance of training tonight. I did get time to spend with my cat though. Like I said I've not had time for many other things.
I've raised so far 400 pounds and I don't see it climbing quickly. Help!
Summary
Exercising: 200 sit-ups
Running: 25 minute walking
Food: Milk/eggs, Weetabix minis, Quarter pounder with cheese meal, Caesar Salad, Chicken Kiev and baked potato.

Circle Line Challenge
Well this was something that was going to a personal event between me and my good friend, Chris.
The challenge is simply what is faster the tube or my feet... It is actually a little more involved than that. Chris will travel on the circle line a complete loop from Aldgate to Notting Hill station (i.e. one and half times round). On the other hand, I will run directly from Aldgate to Notting Hill station. First one there wins.
There are forefeits too. If I lose then I have to travel a complete loop of the circle line. If Chris loses, he has to walk from Notting Hill to a later agreed place.
I was hoping someone, anyone could stand around at Notting Hill station for us... Maybe do a collection.
