Hi Pam
Great to hear from you again. Yay!
Good news about the training. As you may have gathered from my log, mine isn't going well. Not going at all, in fact. If you've placed a large wager on me to to win the Dublin Marathon, I have some bad news for you. The start line is beginning to look like a long way away, never mind the finish line.
I subscribed to the Dead Runners list a while back. To be honest, I don't often read it, but the digest arrrives each morning and sometimes I scan through. I went hunting for them after you mentioned them in one of your blog entries. (For anyone interested, do a search for "Dead Runners" and you'll get their homepage.)
I can't recall now whether or not I've contributed to your leukemia fund? I certainly meant to. Let me know if I haven't yet, and I'll do so.
Have you considered using a service like Justgiving (
http://www.justgiving.com). I don't know if you have to be based in the UK. If so, there may be an American version. (And if there isn't, you should start one - it sounds like a lucrative business...)
Do stay in touch, and good luck with the training. Did you go for the Hal Higdon program in the end?
Andy
