Scheduled day off today. I got my rejection "Sorry" magazine from the London marathon - more or less what I expected, despite bequeathing my entry fee for an additional drawing. So, now I have several options: get a "Gold Bond" place from one of dozens of charities and be obligated to raise a lot of money (about 1500 GBP), which I don't think I can do, so I don't think I'm going this route. Or, I can run another UK marathon, there are several alternatives. Yet another option is to run one of the European spring marathons (Rotterdam, Hamburg or Prague. Paris is already full) - all of them seem pretty fast. Then hopefully I can get into London next year as "good for age", I need < 3:45 time, run in the last 2 years. If anyone knows anything about any of the marathons mentioned above, please let me know. I'm also checking marathonguide.com for feedback. |
