Acording to my training plan here I have just finished my first marathon!
I did it in a time of 5 hours 28 minutes.
OK, in actual fact it took me 41 days, but it is a milestone !

New Personal Best ! — 4 Miles
photo credit: Carmelo Aquilina
That is most definitely the furthest and fastest I have ever travelled by foot in the last decade !
OK, it was my slowest speed to date, but I’m not to concerned about speed just now.
My goal is to finish the 10K in 4 weeks time; gulp, I can’t believe it’s so soon !
If I could maintain my current 13minute mile I should come in under 1 hour 20 minutes, lets set that as a goal !
My daughter; Emma Goodman was on Real Radio last weekend.
I have removed the mp3 of her appearance as the size of it has exceeded my sites bandwidth allowance. If you woul like a copy, pleas contact me and I will send it to you.

New Training Partner
Sarah Goodman, my 13 year old daughter decided to join me on my run tonight.
She did great, she did’nt slow me down any. I am keeping track of my training in a Google spreadsheet here.
We are in training for our upcoming fundraising events.

Financial Statement
As you may have read in a previous post here the company I work for was sold by Glen Group to Maxima at the beginning of the year.
As I had shares in Eclectic, these were transferred into Glen Group shares. Unfortunately, as the purchase was a cash deal, I did not get Maxima shares but am left with Glen shares. As such I still get copies of the annual financial statement. Imagine my surprise to read on the front page.
Eclectic was the biggest company in the group and sat at the heart of the business in terms of turnover and profit. However, Eclectic performed below expectations, particularly in the second half, and when the opportuity arose we elected to dispose of Eclectic and inGroup and completed the sale in early January 2008.
Nothing “too” bad there.

Real Time Stalking
Fact
I rarely “surf” to random sites any more, any site that wants my attention must have an RSS feed that I can put into Google Reader.
Fact
I am intrigued by the social networking sites, a few are listed here. LinkedIn is one that I can see the point of.
LinkedIn have recently introduced an RSS feed for my network updates, so it ticks both boxes. What’s the downside? I’m not sure what it is. It could be that LinkedIn is a work/professional focussed network rather than personal. It could be the immediacy of the updates from my colleagues. It’s strange but I feel crossed between a stalker and a voyeur in a way that I just don’t get from feeds from other sites.
