In 2011 I plan to run 1000km to raise funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care.
This will be spread across multiple events including the Edinburgh Marathon and all of my training sessions.

The concept behind Marcothon was simple : run every day in December for at least 25 minutes or 3 miles.
My results:
Officially that is a “fail” but it is my fourth best month in the year for distance and time but by far my best for actual number of runs.
I’m counting it as a HUGE success as it has been the ideal “warm up” for my 2011 running challenge.
A few people have asked me recently why so many of my Tweets or Facebook Updates have “Reading : ” and what it means
I have been a bit negligent in blogging recently, including ensuring that my WordPress installation is up to date.
I’m building up for my running challenges of 2011 and breaking in my new treadmill so I am slowly building up my miles.
On incentive is the Marcothon group on FaceBook, the basic premis is to run for either 3 miles or 25 minutes in every day in December.
I have also been mucking around with Xcelsius for a parkrun project, more on that later.
To keep an eye on my progress I have built a dashboard to track my running over the current year and so I can visually compare my training year on year.
