The start of a terrible thing

I have decided to run the London Marathon next year. It’s not an ultra marathon, just one of those ‘manageable’, 42km ones. People will be quite surprised about this, because nobody has seen me move with any real purpose outside a 5 metre radius of the fridge. I think it’s
