I got my London marathon mag today! I didn't make it in the first ballot but got one in the bequest draw. I'm hoping to get some serious winter training in for that one and attempt to break 4 hrs.

I'm still doing Chicago, fly out next Friday. Combination of looking forward to, and absolutely shitting myself. It's going to hurt so much!

Best of luck in Chicago.  Don't put any pressure on yourself with this one, set a PB you can beat next April! 

Make sure you post all about it on here.

Lopndon marathon website has a page of charities that offer places.  Be prepared to commit to raising best part of 2k if not more though.

I've not decided who I'll be running for this time yet. 

I've run for the British Heart Foundation and the NSPCC in the past.  Was thinking of running for Cancer Research this time (proberly).

Unpopular view coming up; Cancer Research gets tonnes of money...better off going for a smalller charity IMO..Marie Curie FTW.

They're obviously not wasting the money (well, not all of it) and they need more.

Not saying they waste  it (they spend between 10 and 20% on admin, which almost every charity does).

Just saying they already get a ridic amount and tonnes of money is alreday put into Cancer research.

edit; ridic amount obv only compared to other charities.

...and a ridiculous amount is needed to achieve what they do and are trying to do. 

Wasn't sure who I was going to run for before, but now I'm 90% positive Wink

Absolutely bricking it for tomorrow. Chicago is a lot colder than I expected. When the race starts it is bearing going to be above freezing! Last year it was 25c! I have no experience of running in the cold. I have tops that I don't mind throwing away but only have shorts to run in. Could be interesting. I'd definately prefer it cold to hot, but a pulled muscle in the first mile could make it a lot tricker than it already will be!
