first day

This is my first day of blogging but it's not a day for jogging. A typical British summer day, with grey skies and the odd clap of thunder, I'm nursing a gardening-induced hamstring strain so am giving the legs a rest for a couple of days while the weather dries out. I'm going to use the time to get used to writing this blog and establish how this whole thing works. I've got just under two weeks until the marathon training starts properly so until then, any readers out there will have to make do with minutiae of London life and general running anecdotes.
