Another year, another marathon!

I have no idea how to justify this year's marathon. I had been labouring under the illusion that I was trying to set a personal best against my first marathon buddy Eddie. However, last year I stormed home in 3 hours and 53 minutes which knocked 27 minutes off my previous personal best and made me the fastest Ed I know. Thanks to everyone's generosity I also managed to raise a chunk of money for the Leukaemia Foundation in the process. So what can I say this time, maybe it's because I turned 30 this year, maybe I am worried about getting a pot belly, maybe I'm trying to beat Frank from the office who has a pb of 3 hours and 43 minutes but eventually I may have to admit that I enjoy plodding along for 42 kms. Anyway, this is the start of the journey again and it's time to start counting down to September 17th when I will be running the Sydney marathon for the Leukaemia Foundation again.
