The beginning...

Ok, I am a 28 year old guy with a dream of running the New York marathon in 2007. Currently, this is what could be considered a bit of a pipe dream, because I am still recovering from a broken sesamoid bone that I broke 18 months ago, drink far too much coffee (WITH half and half) and as of now run 4 miles a week, 2 a miles a pop on the gym tread mill.

Fast forward to 2007, in my current physical state there is more chance of Brentford getting promoted to the Premier League than my sorry arse completing a 27 mile 'race' around NY.

So, here it is. My initial attempt at creating a community of sorts for those who wish to join me in my quest for success. Success being completing the 27 mile journey is a somewhat respectable time. Is under 4 hours respectable? Not quite sure at the moment, so open to suggestions!

More to the point, please add your comments, tips, advice, anything that might help a novice like me make 2007 a possibility!

Cheers!!!!
