Merry christmas to all my friends, family, sponsors & running buddies.
I'm now just 15 miles short of the 1200 mile target I set myself for 2008 & looking forward to a christmas day run, been a while since I got to run in daylight & will be refreshing ? Maybe like Dorando 100 years before I'll have a wee Chianti a mile from home ?
Is the glass half empty or half full ? It's been a mixed year to be honest. relationship problems, family, work & financial problems & whilst I can't ignore them, I'm looking to the future, 2009 will not only see me hopefully complete 10 marathons in 10 days, I will also hopefully get half way to my Holy grail of 100 marathons.
I've been lucky enough to run in some lovely locations in 2008 & more importantly have had the honour of running with some fantastic friends. Special thanks must go to Dave Ross (Mad South African & my best buddy),Philip Howells for putting me up when "way out west" for marathons,Nick Morrison-Smith - a top bloke (for a southerer !!), Roger Biggs & all the 100 marathon club members who continue to be my inspiration, The Secret Society - you know who you are !!, there are of course many more of you, too many to name.
As a Wolves fan 2009 will see us replace our arch rivals W**t B**m, whilst I'll be up in Windermere at the end of the season it won't be a problem as we should have it sewn up long before May.
Merry christmas & as the Spence Davis Group so eloquently put it "Keep on running" :)

Hi Dave; happy New Year to you and good training for that big May event. You're doing a pretty good job of this blogging lark; just keep it going that's all you have to do! Honoured to be mentioned in your blog, thank you for that - and I look forward to seeing you at the end of the month again. Take care mate and see you soon. Good running. Phillip
