Hi All

All hail my cousins Clive and Adam;  50 year old father and 18 year old son who ran the London marathon yesterday in  very comfortable sub 5 hour times. 

I ran the 2000* Marathon with Clive when he told me that he’d run it again at 50 with his son (he has 3 of them so some choice there). That he has  done so is  fantastic by him and a great wake up call to those of us who never seem to achieve things we would like to year on year. Talking is always easier than doing. What stops us – money, time or simply the fact that we are all too busy getting through the days to think about the years?  What’s your excuse?

As I have said all too often already in this blog,  the first step in a marathon is way harder than the last. So think for a moment about what you want to achieve in the next 6 months and make the first step today.

You may not get a medal or cheese sandwich at the end  of it but you might just get a life that’s a bit less ordinary.

Personally I commit to enter the marathon next year because wearing my medal in bed every night is wearing out my old one.

Until tomorrow.

Nick
