On November 29th I ran the Seattle Marathon in support of Cancer Research. They are one of the world's leading charities feeding money to Doctors, scientists and researchers to try and help those with cancer, and prevent you from ever suffering from it yourself. You may donate a small amount to Cancer Research by clicking here www.justgiving.com/SecretinSeattle.
I starting training for the marathon exactly six months ago. I didn't stick rigidly to the training schedule, but I got through it all, in secret. Why in secret? In case I failed and looked stupid, but also to surprise my Mum on her birthday, all money raised is being donated to Cancer Research in her name.
I know what you are thinking, "there is no way Al ran a marathon, he can barely tie his shoe laces and the only trainers he's ever owned are Converse!"
I did, it hurt, and here's the story.
