I've decided i want to run 10 miles. I've never done it before, so i will work up to it over the year.
That was supposed to be my resolution, then a funny thing happened...I checked the web page for the run i was planning on doing...http://dublinmarathon.ie/race_series.php...and i went and registered for the whole series.
So, i'm registered for the 5 mile, the 10 mile, the half marathon....and the Full Marathon.
Not sure if i'm able for all of this, but it is my resolution to complete the 10 miles anyway...if i can do the half marathon aswell i might just go in for the big one.
Wish me luck.
*I actually have a few resolutiond. I made a youtube vid for all youtube related stuff, and that can be seen on my web page.*

I remember last year I thought I'd do a bit for charity, so I registered for the Manchester 100 bike ride (100 Km or 100 miles). I took the easy option. My friend gave me a lift down to the starting point in his car. As he dropped me off and helped me with my bike out of his boot, he said to me 'You d*** head', laughed and then drove off. I didn't disagree with him. 🙂

I've just seen the training regime for a marathon...it's quite scary. I only planned on doing the 10 miles, but if i decide to go the whole hog i need to decide by May i think.
nothing like eddie izzard's marathon man documentary to encourage you. if a tubby middle-aged comedian with absolutely no running experience can pull off 43 marathons in 50 days, so can you. download it and watch. here's a clip from the beginning:
(I've taken the 'phlabs vow' in the 90s as well.)

I don't want to hear about you dropping dead from exercise.
