Anything planned for the weekend?

Well, yes, actually, thanks for asking. On Saturday it's my wonderful wife's Birthday so I'm whisking her and the family off for a long weekend in Amsterdam. Oh, and on the Sunday, as it happens to be on, I'm going to run the Amsterdam marathon. Shouldn't take too long, about four hours I reckon, and it'll be nice to do a bit of a tour of the city by foot. Training? Yeh, I've done a bit, but being such a fine speciman of humanity it only takes a few laps of the local park once a fortnight for me to keep my fitness level up. Yeh, flying out from Birmingham tomorrow so probably won't get the chance to blog any more. Can't wait. Everyone has been incredibly supportive and I'm taking with me loads of good wishes. Not to mention 109 sponsored songs. That'll keep me moving even when the searing pain cuts through every muscle and sinew (yeh, that'll be from about mile three onwards). Right, best get on and finish the packing, still got a few bits and bobs to organise. Before an early night. Give this cold a chance to rampage through the body and out. By Christ I need a drink. Rally struggling to keep up the abstinence tonight. Ah well, not long to go and the first glass post run will be all the sweeter for it. Adios anonymous reader. And don't forget, as the playwright/President once said, its a game of two Havels. Total mileage to date: 948ish. Ha, ha, ha.
