Story

In a moment of madness - and probably fuelled by alcohol !  :-)  - we made a pact at the start of 2016 to train throughout the year so that we could take on the New York Marathon at the end of 2016.

At the time of our "pact", Neil had never even run 10k before, and Graham (having taken 5 and half hours to do the London Marathon 15 years ago !) swore he'd never run any more than 10k ever again !

Nevertheless, with a fantastic charity like "Get Kids Going" (working with disabled children in sport) as our incentive, we are now training hard......through numerous aches and pains.........to try to complete it - we've even set ourselves a goal of breaking 4 hours !!!  (a little optimistically, we suspect !)
