Similar to David above, started as an easy and cheap way to exercise and lose weight, started to love it and notice the mental benefits too, such as stress relief.

Keep running because I enjoy it, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I like to be able to eat cake and get away with it!

Aw thanks Barbie! Thanks for stopping by the blog too

I've been aqua jogging and am on the mend enough to start some short, steady runs, but with 7 weeks to go till Brighton, if you take off two weeks to get back into running properly, then two for the taper, that only leaves three weeks to get marathon fit 

Possibly, am keeping my 2014 options open, because with having to pay the entry fee again if you defer, I could pay less and do Manchester instead- much nearer home for me

Hello all! Pleased to see your training has been going so well in my extended absence- I wish you all the very best of luck at Brighton this year, may you make a stunning debut or a cracking PB

I've taken the rather difficult decision to pull out of Brighton 2013- I've had five weeks off with injury and will simply not be ready to do myself justice. Am redoubling my efforts towards York in the autumn.

This means that if anybody still needs accomodation for the Saturday night, I have a room in the Worthing Travelodge (a short journey down the coast) up for grabs if anybody is interested? Email me on sarahlmarsden@live.co.uk if you are

Some seriously good running for everyone here!

I cut short yesterday's planned 15 miler at 9 miles because my hip just didn't want to play. Taking a couple of rest/swimming days before I see the physio on Wednesday- praying it's just tight muscles or something so I can be running again soon!

Hope you come to a decision you're happy with soon Forty

I took a rest day from running today and instead tried a Body Pump class- I like! Am going to start trying to go regularly to strengthen my muscles and supplement my training
