Gold Coast Marathon - Only 3 More Sleeps!

The 2009 Gold Coast Marathon starters gun is almost ready to fire. This represents Phase 2 of Challenge 7x7 and I am ready to rock and roll!

The Gold Coast Marathon is special to me as not only is it my hometown marathon but in 1999 this was my first ever marathon. Back then I only ever intended to do one marathon but I got such an amazing buzz from it that has stuck with me ever since. On Sunday I will line up for my 9th Gold Coast Marathon and my 21st marathon all up.

Unfortunately my best mate Zebra will not be a starter this year. However I am over the moon at how many of my friends are having a go, it just adds volumes to the experience to have you all there. Good luck to everyone!

We will be celebrating and swapping our stories late Sunday afternoon at Southport Surf Club. Please come and join us.
