So it begins....... I am trying to get one of 5 coveted places in the Asics Target 26.2 team for 2012.
Read about the "SuperSix" event last year on RunnersWorld and thought it sounded very exciting but unfortunately missed the entry date so the date for this years entries has been on my calendar for about 11 months!
So the email is here - applications are OPEN and I am busily writing draft answers in word. With only 150 words and 1 picture allowed its going to take all my creative prowess to write something that coveys how much I want to do this and why I want it more than other people.
I decided to start this blog to follow my progress in the Target 26.2 selection process (should I get through the initial application form of course!). I convinced a friend to start a blog about her weight loss over a year ago and reading it has been one of the most entertaining parts of my week ever since. Therefore, I decided to take my own advice and "document" what I hope will be a massive part of my life for the next 7-8 months. It will be great to look back on this and see where I was, where I got to and what I learned along the way.
Asics aside; I've also often thought how much of human life I see as I'm trotting around my runs (best, worst, funny and sad) so it might also be entertaining to blog a little piece of that.
So fingers crossed for the application process - may the creative gods shine down while I'm writing (or failing that let the selectors just have run a PB and be in the best mood of their life when they pick up my form!).
