What is it with marathons?

Why did I send for my good for age entry when I told myself over and over I was not going to do it again after my yuk experience last year?
Even after my acceptance and entry form arrived I still told myself I wasn't going to enter. It has sat on my computer desk for a couple of months and today I did what I told myself I wouldn't do, I SENT IT OFF!
What is it with marathons? Why can't I just be happy that I've done three and ignore the little niggle in the back of my brain telling me to do another?
Oh well time to book the hotel I suppose!

Glad you've decided Hilly, your running seems to be going stormingly at the moment so I'm sure you'll be in brilliant shape to take it on when you get there.
PS Is it a good idea to book accommodation already provisionally?
I'm still a little shocked that I want to give it another go, but I must want to or I wouldn't have entered.
Anyway, I left booking my hotel last year until December and couldn't get a place in the one I wanted. So this year I'm booking early. I think a lot of people do book provisionally.
Hope you get a marathon place Laura!
I've got a gold bond place. God knows why afetr the debascle last year.
It's that tune in me head.
Because it's enormously satisfying?
Because it's a damn good day out?
Because it's a target to work towards?
Because you share the experience with 30000 other people?
So you can beat your PB?
Maybe some, none or all of the above! I said I'd stop at one as well!
Mind you my family might say I'm hell to live with anyhow.
My Guide to entering the London Marathon.
Her man said that if she didn't enter this year he'd leave her!
He'd rather have her spend hours out of the house training for the FLM than have her moping around the house wishing that she'd entered.
Hilly you've done the right thing. Good luck with the training and even better luck on the day. Set your time now and get it in April.
Here's hoping we all achieve our aims!!!
Happy running!
Started tonight, and not injured yet!!!!
