Marathon Man

On Sunday 11th October I will be running in the Melbourne Marathon.

I'm registered (race number 639).

I've never run a marathon before. I've run a couple of half marathons but that's it.

I haven't trained for at least 6 months due to a foot injury. I have some grandpa style orthotics which will hopefully get me through.

I'm putting it out here as I don't think I have the willpower to get up at 6am to train unless this information is public; or at least as public as my blog, facebook and twitter can be.

I'm going to try using an iphone app http://gps.motionx.com/overview/ to track my training.

Apparently it can update twitter and facebook; we'll see.

So I have 4 months to train. Wish me luck!
