I had planned to call this blog post The Art of Running Without Running and was going to list the races that I had not run this year and therefore planned to make the bulk of next years Race Calendar. The title was funny and Bruce Lee related, showing that somehow, despite dropping out of a…

I did it! I signed up for a full marathon. After much dillying and a modicum of dallying I saw others were signing up for the Berlin marathon next year and, in the blink of an eye all €60 slots of were gone. This left those willing to pay €90 clambering to get signed up…
