......fuelled with enthsiasm

well as you can imagine news of the guys wanting to do a marathon has fuelled my seriously underdeveloped competitive streak ;-) lol!! up at 6 a.m. this morning reading mens health and mens fitness mags and i haven't even filled in the application form yet but as we welknow preparation is the key to success!

running 26 and a bit miles is a major undertaking and a massive challenge for someone who's never ran more than 13 and a bit but i've always said i wanted to do one marathon.... just one.... hen i can content myself... well at least until another challenge presents itself. i'm hoping such an endeavour can build on the weight loss i've managed this year. i leave this year about half a stone lighter than last (similar to last years achievement) which i feel pretty chuffed about. i've always lost weight but never been able to keep it off so well done me!

today sees a pre christmas burn up for a few hours with nik - think he said about 25 miles which will be a goodly jaunt - and then it will be full steam ahead into christmas.....

did you know tommy hilfiger don't manufacture anything! they simply badge up other companies stuff and then sell it at a huge mark up. their undies are made by jockey who i remember for those big "dad" type y-fronts from the seventies! well i never.. the shit they pull! hey its not like i'd buy anything just cos its got a label on..... now where are my nike trainers, my next socks, my reebox sweetshirt, my ipod, my sony phone, and my GT bike..... got to get off for my ride!
