Marathon des Sables 2013

It's been a couple of really important days as far as my "journey" is concerned.  For those of you familiar with my blog you will have seen my stated goals from the beginning of the year.  Yesterday I secured a place in the worlds toughest Ironman, Lanzarote and today entries opened at 10.30 for Marathon des Sables - "the toughest footrace on EARTH"!  The UK entries are taken up within 30 minutes and I managed to secure on! OMG!!
One of my favourite quotations is from TS Eliot who said "Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go".  I put that to the test with Ironman last year and it triggered something in my head that said "why not?"  MDS will be an unbelievable task but one I am looking forward to preparing for.
But let's get the focus back to the present day; tonight I am aiming for a PB in a 10k race, then I will switch my thinking to the UK 70.3 IM on June 19th.  The key is know what you want to achieve and why you want to achieve it.  I hope you will follow and support my journey.
