I've been put on a walking ban until my podiatrist appointment as a 1.5 mile round trip to the post office put my arches back in to agony. As I haven't been able to get out and walk it has given me time to sit and think.
This year (other than the arch pain) I really felt like I'd nailed this doing a marathon thing. I trained hard, I kept hydrated, I crossed the finish line and the next day I felt pretty damn good!
I really want to do another marathon next year but I just know I can't tap my friends and family for sponsorship two years in a row. This has led me to think maybe I will do a marathon on the sly. I could do the London Moonwalk, stump up the sponsorship myself, just not mention to people I'm doing it. I'd get to experience a marathon in a city where it's just another annoyance to the locals, see how I fair when people aren't coming out of thier houses at 3am to cheer you on. It's a month before the Edinburgh one so I could still turn up and volunteer at the Edinburgh Moonwalk with friends. I've registered my interest for it and maybe my walking partner will be up for it too as she's never done a marathon before.
