OK, My donation page is well and truly up and running
now. Many many thanks to all the people who have
donated so far... as clichéd as it sounds, it really
does inspire me to run when I see fresh donations
coming in, please keep it up.
Donation page:

When I hit a bad patch and start to struggle while running, I try to visualise the names and donation amounts of all the people who have sponsored me so far, such a powerful motivator and it works.
I'm so proud to be raising so much for a worthy charity.

I've done it, I've managed to get myself into the New
York Marathon... I'm so pleeeeased!!! 
Having failed to get into the marathon via the public ballot I managed to secure a place via charity. Choosing a charity was quite difficult, I wanted to choose a charity I could relate with, so as a father of two I knew I wanted to run for a charity in support of children.
I'll be running for Phab, in support of Phabkids, creating opportunities for disabled people to enjoy the same opportunities and challenges as able-bodied and bring them together on equal terms.
I'll be setting up an online donation page soon via www.justgiving.com
Any charity that has Rolf Harris as a vice president is fine by me

Running woes...

I haven't been running as regular recently. Not since
running home from work last week and stopping 3
times. I just put it down to the weather warming up
but now I'm not so sure. I've started playing
5-a-side football each week and it's having a
knock-on effect with my running... I'm feeling
pains'n strains in my body and legs that I don't
usually feel... running is becoming harder.
I've decided to shorten my runs (3 milers), but I'll keep them very regular. I find out this month if I've been accepted into the New York Marathon, I'll decide then where to take my training.
PS... I've now worn out my Nike+ trainers and have just ordered a pair of NIKE AIR STRUCTURE TRIAX+ 10.

Getting close to race day now, I'll probably only run
one more time.
Just got a reply from the NYC Marathon people, apparently I made a mistake in giving my official half marathon records during my application. I had entered 2008 instead of 2007 for my Great North Run entry.
Oops..
