Training for marathon (Shine Manchester 2010) starts in earnest this week

There are now just 12 weeks to go until Shine Manchester 2010, which means that my training starts this week. I am a little bit nervous to tell you the truth, however this will only serve to spur me on to reach my goals.

I have to go choose a pair of suitable walking shoes today. Now that my ankle is better (I sprained it slightly just before Christmas) I feel that I can buy a pair without regretting it later.

I believe there was a meet up at Sports City in Moss Side yesterday for all those taking part in the event, to give them ideas for training and how to raise more donations for the event. 

Speaking of which, I haven't had any for a little while, please feel free to sponsor me here:

and raise money for Cancer Research.

Thanks for reading,

have fun

  1. Hi Mik, good luck with your training! Iv started last week - just doing a few hour walks to start with (about 3.5 miles) and finding it ok, but im very nervous too! :)

    Iv downloaded walkmeter for my iphone which ill be tracking my walks on! :)

    Was supposed to be going for an 8 miler today but it depends what time my boiler repair man comes! Any time between 8 and 6 which is helpful! lol
