i AM having a moment, armand! *grins*
i always dismissed the idea as being too impractical (being married, being a vet, mr rig wanting to get a degree, having animals, wanting to buy a house etc etc) or too expensive....but i suddenly realised its something i definitely, definitely want to do.
great idea ian - but does rely on the ability to run a marathon  maybe we could be your groupies/support team! hehe

Riga,
Why not, you could just do the half marathons until you get used to it :-).
Great idea, you could train with us - actually I was talking to Heidi about running up Snowdon at some point - I'd like to do that some time

Toks, you flatter me, I doubt I'm much good at giving advice and even worse at following my own. However, I have been here long enough to make a few observations and one is how fragile life is and how little time we actually have here...
Cliche I know but life isn't a dress rehearsal, therefore I don't think we should be afraid to live it. Hence the reason I want to do stuff like run up Snowdon, do marathons in the world's cities, maybe at some point do the marathon de-sables (heidi isn't keen on that one) to name a few things I'd like to do...

come to snowdon anytime - you two could run up to the top, i'll run halfway up and mr rig can follow behind with the dog!
you're right life is not a dress rehearsal. its so easy to get stuck into a rut and think 'right this is my life and how its going to be from now on' because of reasons x, y and z.
