After a few confusing emails from the London marathon team the first week of October is quickly arriving..... which means....? That's right we should know pretty soon if I have my place. It doesn't look good though.
I was reading on RunnersWorld forums that actually there are about 20,000 places available after you take off all the celebs, previous places, charity places et al. With about 100,000 people applying (although perhaps more) it gives you about a 1 in 5 chance.
A bit of me doen't really mind. Of course I want it but it so sad it clashes with Vienna. At least I will come to Vienna next year if I don't get my London place.
This weekend I was stuck in doing house hold bits and bobs (yawn) but luckily managed to be a little sporty on Monday. This week in Vienna I am motivated to pick the pace up again. Not today though...
Again I have been fighting with Birmingham Airport this morning. Which actually for a change wasn't too bad. What I find rather odd is how much energy I have at 4:45am getting ready to leave the house and start my epic journey. Even by 6:30 when I get on the plane I'm still thinking... "8km later at the Prater" to myself. By 6pm I'm already wondering whether I could drag my bags to the apt.
Perhaps an early night and then a morning run... well you never know.
