My big thing for 2013 was to stop being so flakey. If I signed up for one marathon, I'd definitely pull out for some stupid reason. 

But TWO! Even I cant come up with that many excuses. (Err.. two)

So, on April 14th and May 6th I will be running, respectively, the Brighton and Milton Keynes Marathons on behalf of Great Ormond Street Hospital. 

I have no ambitions for times, although hopefully I'll beat my training-free, 5 hour effort in New York three years ago. And the plan is to go faster in MK than in Brighton.

If you're reading this and you fancy simultaneously showing your hatred of kids getting sick and your support for my 52.5 miles sprint (and I definitely will be sprinting both), please drop a tenner in my pot and I will say thank you!
