New York it is

Excellent news. Having missed out on the lottery to get into the New York marathon and then been too late to get a charity guaranteed place, I was resigned to hoping for a cancellation somewhere or running the Athens marathon on 6th November 2005 instead.

But I've just had the call from NSPCC that there's a place available if I still want it. And I most definitely do. New York it is.

62 miles down, 438 miles to go.
