I just got the good news: got a place in the ballot for next year. As soon as I got the letter confirming that, I put my shoes on, and started training (long overdue).

I'm now facing 20 weeks of hard core remaining before the big day (April 13). 3hr30 is quite a challenge (at least for me), and it will probably require 5 trainings a week throughout cold winter. After 3 training session, my toes have already started bleeding, but whatever. 3hr30 is in my mind, and nothing will stop me. Back me up (or not).

Congrats! (I only bet against you for the 11,000 bragbuck payout, assuming you might oversleep or something) ;-)

Woaw, lot of support, thanks all. The legs are a bit sore, but I have already started looking at the next marathon, so I guess that's a good sign. Thinking of New York of Amsterdam maybe.

MikeRowave, theoretically, that was a smart hedge. Happy I proved you wrong on this one though ;)
