Yesterday was the Great North Run and I completed that in under 1 hour 26. That gives me a predicted time of 2:59 for a full marathon distance - and the London Marathon course is a lot flatter than around Newcastle.
I've not attemped a marathon for over 2 years now - maybe I'm tempted to fill in that application form that's sitting behind me and see if I can get a place in London.
It's probably very unlikely to get in through the ballot - I don't know anyone who has got in through the ballot - but I know plenty of people who have been rejected (including myself). Maybe that's why I'm happy to apply - I'm convinced I'll get the 'sorry' magazine.
But if I do get in then there will be a lot of training and long races over the winter. And I think the best way to motivate myself is a regular blog.
So here goes. Not many posts for now, need to see what happens in the ballot.

Ever tried the FLM ballot? Ever looked at how much you have to raise for a Golden Bond place? Then you'll know how I feel!
