Not looked that much into it at the moment i need to start my training. I used to do a lot of running when i was in my teens but then let it all go. Used to enjoy running (strange) and want to get back into it. Setting myself a taget will motivate me enough to get the training in.

That's a good plan. I'll let you into a wee secret, if I may? I hate running!

How many of us wear poppies for remembrance?

always. well, not always (obviously) but i never forget to wear one at on or around the eleventh of the eleventh at eleven. or something.

I do sometime feel bad which is why i'm now in training for the London Marathan.

Have you got a place?

If you fancy running it and raising money for diabetes research, I may be able to get a spot.

Not looked at how to apply or anything yet...like i said i need to first start doing some running then i will look at applying and getting a place with a charity.....next big concern is who to run for as there are so many ?? Can you pick your own charity or does it normally have to be on a certain list ?? i know you have to raise so much to enter

I wear a poppy.

My cars have poppy stickers. new ones every year.

I also donate a fixed amount every month to the central masonic charity which is second only to the National Lottery in the amount it gives to good causes.

I've got some stonework that needs fixing? Would this charity help?

You don't have to run it for charity, you can apply yourself. But the applications process for London is harder than (for example) Boston, which is just first come, first served I think.

The organizers typically give a number of places to charities that ask for them, and then it's up to the charity to give them out. I used to work closely with a diabetes research charity (my sister and mum are diabetic), and they get a load each year, but ask each runner to try and make £1500 in sponsorship. I don't know how many places other charities get, or whether they ask for a minimum to do it.
