Update:

29/11/2009. Regretfully I have to advise of my pull out of the Beirut Marathon after sustaining a Metatarsalgia foot injury and doing all to improve for the last two weeks I now realize recovery this year is very improbable. Myself and the support crew are heading to Lebanon to support the Beirut Marathoners and get some great coverage of the race. We're also heading to a landmine support centre and look forward to uploading the photos and story post race. You can check out the injury summary here - Metatarsalgia

Apologies to all and lookinng forward to recovery and the next 3L challenge.

Why Landmines?

"In regards to landmines and cluster bombs we must consider ourselves br than this. They don't fit in any progressive vision for a safe and free world. Cutting off access to lands by using these eternal, hidden and deadly soldiers isn't justifiable. Clearing and reducing their global positions and use must be a global priority.

Supporting this cause while over coming a personal challenge, for me Beirut Marathon, makes the battle seem all the more personal"
