Well done, Jim. My Mum ran the London Marathon in 2000, completing it in around 6 hours 40 minutes.

Yes, I am paranoid, but am I paranoid ENOUGH?

Excellent and a good time too. I can imagine she still feels very proud of her achievement to this day. I know I would. The London Marathon is my big ambition and one I'm now seriously working on
I have a lot of training to do though...

She has 2 T Shirts from the London Marathon. One she got at the end of the Marathon itself, and I got her the other a couple of years back. Virgin Money (who now sponsor the London Marathon) worked out (in 2015, IIRC) that they were due to have their 1,000,000 runner cross the finishing line. They then came up with the idea that (if you knew the year and finishing time) people could buy T Shirts with their position in that 1 million. Mum was somewhere in the 400,000 group (but I cannot remember where).

A year ago, I'd have been exactly the same! A year ago I'd not even started seriously running...
Like me, if you get the training in you could easily do it
The secret is slow and steady... I was averaging just under 9 minute miles... The say the best way to approach it is to start slow and get slower... Not a bad policy in practice...
As a runner I'm a bit of a tortoise but toward the end of any run I end up passing an awful lot of hares!

I know how you feel Jim. The new C4 is so easy to drive and relaxing.
