We have all thought, 'I would love to do a marathon' or something along those lines at some stage in our lives.  So I have decided to hell with it i'm going to try and complete the Belfast City Marathon.  I have just entered it (3rd Sept) so that gives me 240 days to train.  I have been told by someone who has done the London Marathon that that should be plenty of time. So fingers crossed.

And why have I chosen the 'Northern Ireland Hospice', well my dad, Big Geoff died in the Hospice. He battled cancer for over a year but died in Jan '96, the hospice gave a lot of help to him and our family, so its time to give something back.
