I’m running my first marathon next Sunday (April 15th). There are a few reasons why I’m running a marathon, the first is to see if I can. The second is to raise money for the Children’s Cancer Institute Australia with per kilometer sponsorship, and the final reason is to have something to blog about ;-)

It’s been a hard three months of training. I’m following a combination of Joe Henderson’s Run Right Now and the Runner’s World Smart Coach. I followed them to the letter so I’m about as prepared as I’m going to be.

My goal is to survive and finish within 5 hours.

Thanks to everyone who is sponsoring me! So far I have received over $200 is pledges.

Wish me luck.
