I Didn't Win a Gold Medal

Jokes aside, my challenge to Amy Williams
of there being a new kid on the block did
not last long. When you start taking sport to
a more serious level, start trying to beat your
time, or improving the smallest of techniques it
has to be admired. I was very pleased to
achieve a time of 1hr 48 mins and 28 sec.
Now that one challenge is complete I am very
keen to do another. The next goal that I am
eagerly looking at is a full marathon, 26.2 miles
an achievement I made in 2001. I was able to
run then in a time of 4hr 19 mins and 58 sec.
I am looking at being able to run the
Snowdonia marathon in 3 ½ hours, quite a
courageous or is it a stupid goal to set, but with-
out setting yourself goals is like always eating
ordinary ready salted crisps, fine for a while but
like the long saphenous vein very draining!
Just in case you were wondering I didn't need to
do a Paula Radcliffe, as Smithy suggested on
the sport relief sketch. How he did that and
didn't feel like a gooseberry I don't know, I guess
it just goes to show what a brilliant actor and
writer he is. Okily smokily I guess that is it from
me, Easter is round the corner and then by jingo
I'm off on holiday.

See you at the next event - Jon
