Sadly, although I would LOVE to do it, I really cant see it happening. Maybe if I defer till 2012 it could be possible. Zero to 26 miles in 6 months is impossible I reckon

Did you see biggest loser? A guy who started on the ranch weighing over 440lbs completed a marathon just 19 weeks later and they pnly had 60days notice that they were doing a marathon at all:eek:

If they can do that you can do a marathon with 6months structured training - no one is expecting a world record time!

Plus I reckon at least on emore of us will get a spot so you'll have full WB support x

Sorry but I wanted to de lurk for a second as spuds reaction to her opening her envelope made me laugh out loud whilst at my lap top. It just sounds so much like something I would do. :rotfl:Apply and then panic - except I wasnt brave enough to apply! Go for it Spud!:j

No, I havent seen it. I've got the last few Sky Plussed. To be fair, they exercise all day every day while they're at the ranch so have built up a certain level of stamina by then I think.

DH thinks its all REALLY funny. DD will be gutted when I tell her because she'd want to do it with me

I never for a second thought I'd get a place, it's quite difficult to get in apparently :rotfl:

Ohh my, I have a whopper of a headache now :eek:

True but they were also all morbidly obese, barely able to walk and utterly unfit. It might not be as intensive but you CAN do the necessary preparation to be able to complete a marathon by April 2011. Will it be any less scary in 2012?

Okay - but I KNOW you can do it. Think of the pride and sense of achievement (and goody bag and medal) at the finish line...
