In this blog I'll be keeping track of my training and fundraising efforts for the 2010 North Pole Marathon. To date I have been actively training for about three weeks and have run 59.2 miles. My fastest pace so far has been a 7.8 min/mile on a three mile run. The longest run so far was 9.2 miles (according to google earth). The marathon is April 7th of next year. That leaves plenty of time to train. My biggest hurdle at the moment is raising the €11,900 registration fee in time. The registration fee covers accommodation in Spitsbergen Norway before and after the race, flights to and from the pole, and all the race support that it takes to stage a race in the middle of a frozen ocean.
I can accept donations through Sponsorspace.com which routes donations though PayPal. You can try it out here:

In exchange for corporate sponsorship, I am offering advertising space on my race jacket.
