Well here goes....

So this is my first entry onto my blog. I'm not sure if I'm ever going to publish this but I wanted to keep a diary of my efforts so depending on how brave I am I might go live with it.
Anyway today is Monday 14th of August 2006. I have exactly 11 weeks until the Dublin City Marathon. I've been training for a while but nothing like the 26.2 miles I aim to do. I've mostly been getting out about 3-4 times a week with my girlfriend Sarah who is also running the marathon for the first time this year and running 30 minutes or so with a longer run on the weekend. I'm following the training plan on http://www.dublincitymarathon.ie/ and I've just completed week 4. Yesterday I ran 10 miles in 1 hour 43 minutes, and the legs are feeling a little tired but I only have 25 minutes to do tonight so hopefully it shouldn't be too bad. I'll let you know how it went later on or tomorrow.
