6224 days between my first and my 100th marathon.

I did my first marathon, Berlin 2007, I entered it literally because my mates where doing it and I hadn’t been to Berlin before (this has become a common theme for my racing and competing). Not long after that I discovered people ran more than one marathon.  Ummm, ok then. And then I was introduced to the concept of ultras, i.e. running further than a marathon WTAF?

Anyway…. 17 years later  and there have been sunny ones, raining one, cloudy ones, meh ones, pissing down so hard that…. Actually, I’ll tell you that story face to face.  Races I’ve trained hard for, races  where I have been falling sleep at the start line, marathons I have done to escape home-life, marathons for chasing numbers, marathons for the sexy medals, marathons because 	I signed up for whilst in the pub post-marathon, marathons where I come home looking like I’ve spent two weeks on the beach, marathons I have crossed the line and been frozen to my core.

I rememberer the first time I did two in one year and felt like a fucking Olympian….before I knew it I had moved on to 4 in a year and then 5 then…. well 25 in one year. There have been doubles (Saturday and Sunday) a for some reason, I decided to run four marathons in four days…. five times, in Milton Keynes.  Yes, I know.

The actual moment I decided to go for the 100 will be forever lost, but at some point I did.  And now it’s done, I’ve set my next marathon target, it’s going to be a fucking challenge that will either make me or break me. We shall soon fund out.

In the meantime, tell me your ‘Why am I doing this???’ Goals… and let’s get scared together.
