My second TM
By Dave | October 2, 2007
Kathy called me up and asked me if I was interested in starting this blog thing. I gave it a bit of thought and here I am.
I suppose I should tell you about myself. Im a serving soldier, 38 years old, in my last 20 months of a 24-year career. Ive got four kids one of which has DOWNs which is why Im doing my second TM. I did my first one only in 2006 following my first marathon in 2005. Being in the Army means that Im pretty ok on the fitness side but I do have to do a lot of distance running in my own time as most of the runs that my unit do are less than five miles. Which means my distance training is done on an evening or weekend, ok in the summer but now the nights are drawing in I have to deploy my head torch more often. I have had a couple of injures so far, a twisted ankle followed by a pulled hamstring. With plenty of stretching, they both have healed now. ive now got a stinking head cold which has also slowed me up.
Ill drop you another line in a few days or so with some pics of my training routes.
Keep on running.
