Victoria Marathon for the Victoria Hospice

Just like Dustin Hoffman in Marathon Man, I'll be running for pride and glory (I never saw the movie).

I'll actually be running because I've done one marathon before and I just about chalked it over five hours. Now, I have a new goal: four and a half hours.

As easy as it might seem (especially when you post your triumphs on social media), the best I've done since then is a half marathon. Every time, it has seemed unfeasible to keep running beyond that distance barrier. Quite simply, I hope to do better by starting again.

I'm not expecting donations to charity. Obviously, nothing is quite like the first time. However, if anyone is crazy and foolhardy enough to donate to a worthy cause I shall be chuffed all to bits.

Proceeds will go to the Victoria Hospice Society.
