London Marathon 2024
Last April, I had the honor of running the London marathon. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I plan to conquer the other 5 major marathons of the world too!
These are just some highlights I took.

The Adventures of Lego Flash: London Edition
It's MARATHON WEEKEND! Which means ⚡Lego Flash⚡ is out and about!
If there's anything we know, it's carry your race day gear on your person/in your carry-on. Don't put it in a checked bag because you never know what might happen.
Taking the train to get to the plane! Because trains are a superior form of mass transit, even though they're not invested in enough or carry enough interest in the US
On the plane! Then off the plane! Then back on 2 hours later. They found an issue and had to do maintenance. When I say we almost didn't make it, I mean the pilot said we had 5 minutes to get air-bound or London's airport wouldn't let us land. We made it. Extremely late.
TORE through Des Linden's memoir on the plane and was teary-eyed by the end. Absolutely recommend. I am so damn INSPIRED now.
It took a while, but we made it. We finally made it to London. The Underground stopped running because it was after midnight, and we were exhausted, so we took a cab to where we were staying. Worth it.

i have semi-accidentally entered the london marathon so i am very carefully planning ahead to make sure i'm as ready as possible
i mean, woolwich is so helpfully near the start that of course i have booked a convenient hotel room for the night before, and absolutely i plan to book the double on the day before (assuming the show extends obvs)
i will be sure to wear a distinctive outfit so if you see me trying to follow a high energy character, i would be very grateful if you could firmly redirect me to someone like kronos or eurydice or peep
#the burnt city#burnt city#punchdrunk#punchdrunk theatre#immersive theatre#immersive#troy#mycenae#making a whole list of the lowest effort characters#definitely feels like the sort of planning i should be doing ahead of running 26.2 miles for fun#london marathon#ask me about 'regrets' again zaggy#i've got a real fuckin good one right here

Mon 28th Nov '22
For some reason I had some nerves about Manchester/London this morning. Never mind the fact that I've yet to decide what to do regarding running both of them (I really should ask Coach for his opinion!) I think it was precipitated by the book I'm reading, Zen and the Art of Running, which is exactly the opposite effect it's meant to have! It made me think of standing at the start line in either city, and I started to get butterflies. Fuck! I'm getting them now too!
Well! So much for looking forward to my Monday morning weigh in! I was up over 168lb after being about 4.5lb lighter yesterday morning! Damn Sunday's unofficial figures! 🤣
It doesn't matter. It's just my body playing silly buggers. Nothing's changed. I still ran and ate well last week. The numbers don't invalidate that. I know sometimes it would get me down, but today I'm not bothered. I can feel my running starting to improve after three weeks of more consistent sessions, and I've gone down a notch on my belt. Those things are way more significant than the numbers on the scales
With reference to talking to Coach about my unexpected London place, I messaged him and he was well chuffed for me. London is so hard to get in to. Then he asked the £64,000 question. Two marathons within two weeks? Or pick one? I asked what he thought. He said he'd do both, but he's crazy. So the thought is do Manchester for a time, then London for the experience. Sounds like a plan!
Now I feel like I have to give the training, including getting to a sensible weight, my all. I really want to do him proud. He'll be proud regardless, he's a really supportive guy, but it'd be nice to let him see me work at it. The trick is to do it without putting too much pressure on myself.
If I can remember, as I get into the training plan, that getting miles in my legs now will make the runs themselves easier, then longer training runs will be more bearable. Long, boring solo runs on a Saturday or Sunday morning are what will make the end races a more pleasurable experience. It's often said that the training is the main event, the race is the victory lap.
I also need an attitude adjustment if I'm going to think of the long runs as boring, as I referred to them above. I'm going to have two or three runs of at least twenty miles on my plan, so I hope to get into a mindset to enjoy them. Also, it helps to think that every run and every healthy meal from now is an investment in these races and making them both easier on my body and more enjoyable. God! I sound so bloody serious about this! 😁 And I'm starting to repeat myself.
Club tonight was great! Well, it was tough, but I really worked on changing my pace between easy, steady and fast. My average pace over the thirty minutes was a good bit faster than it's been in ages. I'm so happy 😊
My ankle niggle seems to be easing. It hasn't hurt for a few days. It's a wee bit achy now, but not too bad. I wonder if it was weight related and now I'm going down a little, it's getting better. Fingers crossed 🤞
That was a very waffly post. Gonna shut up now.
