I am running the 2013 New York Marathon for Amnesty International. I am not a runner: I am 51 and overweight. This blog will track my journey to marathon-fitness as well as record my steps towards creating a better world: one where justice, freedom and dignity are not the birthright of a privileged few, but the deeply-held vision for all.
That's me on an early training run in Byron Bay when I weighed over 100 kg.

Last jaunt for 2012
Very satisfying 17.5 run/speed-walk today. Started off down Johnston Creek to Bicentennial Park, through the pretty back streets of East Balmain, out around the northern section of Iron Cove on the Bay Run, up Hawthorne canal then meandered back through Leichhardt. Most of it was pure barefoot and only the last few kilometres with Xeros (huaraches).
The soles of feet are a bit sore, but no doubt they will get tougher. I was very pleased however not to have any knee or heel pain at all. This is real progress. This will be my last run of for 2012. Looking forward to next year very much.
