New Years Eve – any resolutions?

 HI -  2007 is soon coming to a close.  Its been a good year for me – I have completed some runs – however just small ones and the 10k Greatrun in Hyde Park being the longest.   I need to step it up for 2008 and the Marathon.      A little scary.

 I need to get some proper running shoes as well as setting up some good routines for warming up- stretching as well as knowing when to rest.  Otherwise I ll end up injured and I wont have any fun at the end of April 13th.

Tomorrow. Its the day when it all starts.  

On the ferry ….

I m on the Newcastle – Stavanger ferry 2 days before Christmas eve…  brilliant they got internet access on this ship so I dont have to waste my time in the shops and bars….

I have done something rather useful: www.justgiving.com/johnbrenne.

Now you can support me and Shelter in a matter of minutes!!

Higdon…

I can barely run a 10k in 50 mins…. I need to dramatically improve!!

Need a training plan…  I hear people talk about Hal Higdon ……. http://www.halhigdon.com/marathon/Mar00novice.htm 

Hello world!

Welcome to my blog featuring my thoughts on the way to London Marathon 2008 April 13th.  The charity I am running for is Shelter – www.shelter.org.uk/- Shelter’s vision is that everyone should have a home – somewhere decent, safe, affordable and permanent.
