That’s it then… As of today, no-one else can enter the ballot for the Flora London Marathon for 2008.

I am still holding a very positive intention for a place in next years Marathon - with it coming 3 months before the main Kili climb, I know that it will be a great milestone for my training. I was one of 10,000 people who entered online in only 6 days - competition for the places will be fierce, and as a rookie I am somewhere near the bottom of the pile.

“What you focus on grows” though, so I have been trying to spend 10-15 minutes a day holding positive thoughts about getting a place (and not bricking it about the distance). If you want to help out, and can’t donate, then please do the same and support me with your mind!

Ultimately, things will work out for the best, and if I don’t get a place then it’s probably because the team upstairs only want my ass kicked once next year
