The challenge is on..

I've entered my first races for next year now so the challenge for all intense and purposes is going ahead. I got an entrance in to London Marathon ballot last month but I don't really count this as I'm not going to find out for ages as to whether I've got a place. So the first entrance proper is for the Bolton Hill Marathon which is on the 8th and 9th March 2014. I've only entered the 8th at the moment. We'll see how training and recovery goes as to whether it is sensible to start off the challenge with increased risk of injury.
