London Marathon

What a fantastic experience... being one in 35,000 was certainly special and an amazing day... but it was hot! I set out for a 4:20 and ended up coming in at 5:16 - but I completed the race!

Now training has began for the next marathon!! Details to follow...

Zahle was Awesome! London awaits...

Well, over 10,000 people ran in Zahle, with 250 in the half marathon and the rest in the 5k fun run... it was an amazing day.. with rain (again!!!) and sunshine too... everyone had a great time... more than that, we had two of the world's greatest athletes there... from Ethiopea... Asnake Fekadu and Shitaye Gemechu, wondeful to see them run..

Now, off to London for the Flora London Marathon... I am hoping for a time of four hours and twenty minutes.. anyone want to sponsor??? I am going to give the money to charity.. just let me know!

I feel ready, but a bit nervous...

Who is we?

The "we" was Dr Ahmad Khalife, Wissam Terro and Mark Dickinson...
I remember after the rain when I was completely soaked and was running alone, that I was surprised, actually jumped out of my skin, when I heard a voice behind call my name... it was Wissam with a Snickers bar and water!!!!
Then as we continued down the road, Ahmad was running back towards us to encourage and motivate me to get to the end!!

London & 32k... plus Zahle

London Marathon is only three weeks to go and we are very ready!

Yesterday we ran 32k in preparation for the big race and were pleasantly surprised to complete it in 3hours and 33 minutes... amidst torrential rain and thunder storms with the smell of burning from the lighting all around us. At one point the rain turned to hail and we were truly burned by the stinging of the hailstones... nonetheless we completed the run with silly grins and great happiness and enthusiasm all around.

Zahle Half Marathon is a week away too... so the office is mad with preparations for this event... we are excited to see so many registrations already completed, with over 4000 completed here in the BMA...

Hope to see you on what I am sure will prove to be a wonderful day out... dont forget to come to the bib-pick up in Zahle to enjoy the enteratainment and fun on Friday and Saturday 13 & 14th April.
