Story

I'm running London 2011 Marathon and raising some money for Compassion. I sponsor 3 kids (children, not goats) with them and I think they do a great job with getting the money I give them to the ground.  

My marathon strategy was to go out hard to see if I could overtake the leader... even for just a few minutes. It was a stupid idea, but it would have been funny - I think I'd have felt a real sense of awesomeness if I pulled that off.

So now I'm left without a strategy, and seeing that I don't own a camel costume or a whoopie cushion outfit I may just have to run the race and try to beat the time of my arch enemy, Nickolas Clark. We'll see...
