Marathon box checked...with a pencil

Yes, yes, yes, it's been a while since I last confessed to the masses, but given that it is the start of a new decade, what better time to turn the information tap back on once again to give to a drink of Bondy madness!

I did manage to complete my first Marathon here in Amsterdam in 2009

...with no training

Yes, I had a lot of things happening at the time that meant I wasn't able to train, but figured I would just give it a crack anyway. A crack was involved, and I believe it was the sound of me hitting 'the wall'



'They' say that everyone hits the wall around the 30-35km mark of the 42km marathon, but for me it all turned to custard at around 25km, meaning that I was in a world of pain for the remaining 17km. Click here and put in bib number 2400 to see how bad it was.

So for 2010, the targets are:
- Rerun the Amsterdam Marathon in less than 4 hours
- Drop to 85kg (currently 93kg)
- Last, but definitely not least -> Have a baby boy!!! Yep - Claire is 6 months preggers and due on April 11!!!
