Anyone who is on my Facebook/Twitter, would have seen random postings saying 'Darren has been out cycling...' etc, well i been in training!
I have my entry to the Marathon confirmed, i will be running on behalf of the Outward Bound Trust, http://www.theoutwardboundtrust.org.uk
Donations and sponsorship can be made online HERE: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/darrencurzon
you can follow my training on Twitter @darrencurzon or on Facebook.
plan for the final day:
i'm planning on having satnav tracking to follow me live as i run, and provide a live map so everyone sitting at home can see my progress on a map! Not only will you be able to see where i am, but you will also be able to type words of encouragement and/or abuse to me, which will come to me thru headphones.
anyone know how to hugely extend the battery life on an iphone? gps and 3g will be running...
Anyways, i need to raise dosh. My feet are going to be doing the work (anyone seen my feet? they're not great!) but i need YOUR help to raise the £££'s!
By sponsoring through the Virgin Giving site, gift aid is also reclaimed (doesnt cost you a penny) which means that a tenner donated by you, becomes £12.82 that the Outward Bound actually receive!
Thankyou all for reading and maybe i'll see some of you out there

eeek! well, training hasnt gone well so far. only 196 days to go, and i have run a total of ZERO miles.
been having some issues this weekend, headaches, hallucinations and nerve issues in my left ankle, which has left me with some comedy random falling over. not sure whats going on there?
on the sponsorship front, not much doing either. although its early days yet, it does make me wonder if i'll actually reach the target figure at all or wether i should jack it in as a stupid idea in the first place. but i'm not the quitting type.
have asked my work if they'll put in an official donation, havent heard back. if they do, it'll be up to a max of £250, which will be a big help but will still leave me wayyyyy off my goal.
watched 'run fat boy run' for some inspiration.
also started an official virgin london marathon blog here: http://www.realbuzz.com/blogs/u/dcurzon ... -progress/B'Twin Sport 1
