September 2009
Recovering from broken shoulder
Getting old
Getting fat
Constant back pain
A Challenge
The Plan
Didn't have one
Hadn't run for 10 years
11 weeks till the race
The Kit
Get the best shoes you can afford
Get a proper fitting
Be open minded
Be prepared to buy a brand you've never heard of in a colour you'd not usually wear.
