I had a stupid agreement with one of my mates on some trivial football matter recently when we were out and had had a few too many beers. The loser, and it was witnessed, had to run the London marathon as a forfeit, which was due up in 3 months from that day. As it turned out I was wrong, lost the bet and receiving no sympathy from my friend it turns out that I have got to indeed run the London marathon. I have never run a marathon before, or a half marathon, in fact I have done very little running since I finished school 25 years ago! I am now frantically trying to get in shape by visiting the gym three times a week, going jogging every night and have even called in a favour from a dietitian who is going to help me lose 10 lbs a week for a month in order to give me all the help I can get before the big event!
