Why?
On 13th April 2008 I’ll be joining another 30,000 elite athletes, c-list celebrities and grannies and grandads to run the London Marathon.
I accidently conned Shelter into giving me a Gold place for next year, silly me thought I’d been donating £20 a month to them since 1999, but turns out my cash was going to a different (but equally deserving!) charity helping the homeless. Anyway, I figure I have eight year’s worth of £20’s to make up for, so with your help I’m aiming to raise £2,000.
Bit of a work in progress at the moment, but I’ll be using this blog to keep my supporters updated on my training plan, and progress towards my donations goal. You can help get me started right now by selecting the Donate link in the sidebar.
You’ll get some minor entertainment for your money, as I’ll be writing up my training progress as I go. Please check back from time to time to see if I’m keeping to my commitments, and feel free to give me some stick in the comments if you think I’m slacking!

Hey fella,
Long time no speak (Michael Hallard -> used to use please_insert_name@hotmail.com).
Been researching the Hallard family tree from my parents and back, got 139 relatives linked up so far, was woundering if you’ve attempted this?
Good luck with the Marathon, I want to do one at some point but I’m training up for the 10km this year, may try a half marathon but need to get a bit more training in
The Ipod/Nike+ thing does help, I’ve got a bit of my info on http://www.a-bears-tale.com about my runs and on my face book, if your on facebook do a search for Michael Roy Hallard (please_insert_name@hotmail.com) and add me
Anyway, I’ll leave you be now…
Take care Mike Hallard
Ps… Sites looking good!
