The Loneliness of a Long-Distance Runner-Runner

You"ll only be able to look me up if I give you permission. Although I can probably give permission en mass (well I think I can) just for the Sunday. I don"t want people knowing where I am the rest of the time - that"s just not right!
I think you can manually set your location anyway. So after Sunday I could just set it to DTD...

I"ve had an idea. I"ve just got a G1 phone - otherwise known as the "Google Phone".
Google has released a service called "latitude" that means you can transmit and share your location with others. I was thinking of using the phone to show where I am on the course for anyone who wants to follow it (that"ll be my mum and dad then). Might be interesting.

MIGHT be. ;)

Here"s a training tip from the London Marathon newsletter that they spam with with from time to time:
Training tip of the week
Prepare for the second half of the marathon
If you are well prepared, the first two hours of the marathon will be "easy". After that, things start to get a little more complicated. Not only will you become increasingly physically tired, but your mind will also be telling you that it"s time to stop, have a rest, and take in the view. To counteract this, try to make your body move more efficiently in the first half of all your training sessions from now on. If you feel in control of your body, your mind will adapt to this and you"ll gain a psychological advantage for the second half of the marathon.
That is so bloody true. 13 miles is a breeze now, but after about 15 or 16 miles then it"s a whole different thing.
Although my times are putting me on course for a potential 3:30 marathon time, I think that 3:45 is a much more realistic time after the fatigue has kicked in and I"m hitting that 22-mile marker and thinking "what the hell am I doing this for?".
