Today was the day I have dreaded for the last 10 months, the day that the record for the youngest person to run a marathon on all 7 continents was broken and it was not me. To my great sadness the record has been broken by someone younger than my... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=590020&go=nick2me Mon, 25 May 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=579330&go=nick2me Well the Paris Marathon was a week ago and I managed to get a personal best time in 3 hours 3 mins 35 secs, taking over 16 mins off my previous time.The trip went well with my brother and 4 friends in attendance.The next marathon is The Great Wall of China, one which will prove to be extremely challenging, but one which I am very much looking forward to.As ever please sponsor me at www.justgiving.... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=579330&go=nick2me Sun, 12 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=573182&go=nick2me Hi Team,I returned from possibly the most remote destinaton on earth yesterday. My two weeks away seemed like a lifetime. I did so much and it really turned out to be a trip of a lifetime, check out the video which will be placed on youtube in the next few days.I saw penguins, seals, whales and icebergs.

As for the course, there were a number of long inclines which added to the difficulty of the race. So with the humidity and the inclines in mind it did not help that I pulled the top of my quad at around 25km. It was incredibly painful to continue, however as if this was goin... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=563450&go=nick2me Wed, 11 Feb 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=559187&go=nick2me Hi Team,Well Marrakech started with some tense times. After arriving I was just looking on the marathon website when I found that it said a Medical Certificate was compulsory...I didn't have one. A frantic period followed with thoughts of flying home to blind panic. With some calm words from my parents and the legendary Geoff Allwright I calmed down and started to try to tackle the situation. With... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=559187&go=nick2me Tue, 27 Jan 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=553261&go=nick2me Hello one and all, On Sunday I completed the 6th of my 12 marathon challenge.
