Relieved

Hi Tom

I can't tell you how relieved I am to get a sorry through the post. As much as it would be wonderful to run in the London marathon next year I know I wouldn't be ready. The holiday we are going on would really interfere with training and you can't do this without training.

However, my friend Sidney is still waiting to see if she gets in if she doesn't we are going to enter a half marathon next year....one we can properly train for. I haven't even run a 10k yet....that's in November.

Today stoptober has started which is for smokers really. It's encouraging people to give up smoking for this month. I don't smoke but I'm giving up sugar for the month, which is my biggest downfall. I'm hoping it will shift a bit of weight....not that I have much to lose...but I really want to rid myself of my sweet tooth.

I can't believe we are in October already. Time is passing way too fast.
