Many thanks for all the responses.

I think ill have to choose my charities carefully, i am a bit daunted by the large pledges that they are asking for but i think  (and hope and pray etc) that i can achieve it.

There are others that i could run for with lower pledges but i dont think i should run for them becasue i dont really have a proper reason to run for them, meaning i dont think i would be selected.  Where as a cancer charity is most applicable for me but they all have a £2000 pledge!

Liz EE  thats great that you raised so much! ill check the charity, if i get a ballot placing perhaps ill make contact.

Some thinking to be done here .......

 APART from that has everyone enjoyed running the london marathon so far?? any funny  or inspirational stories from the day?

Hi All

To all those who have run the London marathon before or hope fully will be next year please could you give me some advice.

I managed to get my entry in to the ballot this year and would like to start applying to charities in case i dont get a ballot place.

How many charities should you apply for? a couple? lots? Obviously i have a few in mind which i would like to run for.

Also i know you pledge a certain amount which i hope to achieve but what actually happens if for some reson you dont get the full amount??

 Any info would be great!

Hi, All, Just joined!

2011 is the year to actually get fit and stay fit.

Secretly my aim would be to get myself running a marathon but lets take things one step at a time.

I have run before but never on a regular basis so ill start at the beginning again!

Shoes at the ready and im running tomorrow.
