Hi Jack,

I found your running blog very interesting. I am preparing for my first marathon at the moment and I have learnt a great deal from reading blogs such as yours.

I have decided to create a list of top running blogs. I would appreciate it if you could add your blog to the list.
The url is: www.marathonblog.co.uk/runners/

Thank you and keep up the good running!
