Diary of what followed after I finally succeeded in completing a marathon just in time, before my 50th birthday.

Saturday 24 March 2007

HERE WE GO HERE WE GO HERE WE GO...

Weight: 75 kilos
Time spent running since 15 November: 56 hours 1 minute
Distance run since 15 November: 512.9 kilometers
Time left: 22 days

Tomorrow then. The ultimate test. 25 kilometers over hilly and partly slippery surface.

My aim is to finish, and preferably in under 2 hours 45 minutes. Mind you, that is close to the time of last year's slowest runner in this race. I may be the one after whom they turn out the light.

Wish I could say it will be fun, but I have a hard time convincing myself...

Stay tuned.
