Pretty much from that point it&#8217;s been at the back of my mind as an impossible goal that some day I&#8217;d like to conquer. I was never sure it would ever be possible.<\/p>\n<p>Pain may be a constant in my life, but I can certainly run. It&#8217;s been an emotional journey for me. Running with music affects me even more. Right from week 1 of training, just about every run I do is the longest I&#8217;ve ever run.<\/p>\n<p>As challenging and emotional as this marathon is for me, I still consider myself beyond privileged to have access to clean water from any tap. It&#8217;s a clich\u00e9, but many around the world are not so lucky. Today 4,000 children will die from drinking dirty water.<\/p>\n<p>Sponsor my run in support of wateraid here:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/uk.virginmoneygiving.com\/neilonpt\">http:\/\/uk.virginmoneygiving.com\/neilonpt\/<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"pVHEdM6E0CFb\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -1380px; left: -803px; width: 222px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cialis-france-2013.fr\" title=\"commander cialis\">commander cialis<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"HeIS6If8Ov0810i5c0j\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -1005px; left: -1045px; width: 249px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/buyviagratown.com\" title=\"viagra\">viagra<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"Nds5VqhWP7YIb9cJDz90k\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -1002px; left: -1451px; width: 231px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.thefashionduel.com\/cialis-online-usa\">cialis online<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.labatut-riviere.fr\/acheterviagra\/viagra.html\">cialis<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, so the real reason I&#8217;m running the marathon is that when I was 13 the specialist said that I should never run and that I could end up paralysed just by running for the bus.
