Ten weeks ago I realised I was totally demotivated and running held no interest to me so I contacted my good running pal Gemma who is a personal trainer by trade and a brilliant runner.
The conversation went thus:
Jerry - "Motivate me"
Gemma - "Piss off and go for a bloody run.."
Gemma - "What's up? Lacking running mojo?"
Jerry - "No, I am a big fat lard arse"
Gemma - "Try marathon PB???? Good for winter. Speed feels awesome to work on..."
Jerry - "OK, sounds good, like it"
Gemma - "Ha! Well that was simple!"
Gemma - "Piss off and go for a bloody run.."
Gemma - "What's up? Lacking running mojo?"
Jerry - "No, I am a big fat lard arse"
Gemma - "Try marathon PB???? Good for winter. Speed feels awesome to work on..."
Jerry - "OK, sounds good, like it"
Gemma - "Ha! Well that was simple!"
A plan was hatched and I entered one of the only marathons in the south east of England in November, The Thames Meander I just forgot to tell the Delightful Mrs S.....until this evening.
All she said was "Oh!"
Aaargh I hate when she say "Oh!"
So with limited training, no chance of a PB, a pair of Monkey Feet I will be running a marathon on Saturday


Funny old world. Reading URP daily news, followed the link to your blog, read the entry, went to your home page, saw latest post - I'm running the Thames Meander on Saturday too. See you there, good luck on the PB anyway ...
