A little about me....

My name is Kevin, I live just outside London in the UK

Over the years i have notched up about 18 marathons, in recent years i have been mixing holidays and marathons, which is a great way to see cities, In the last couple of years i have run marathons in Paris, Chicago, Los Angles, Toronto, and the Peak District....

Over the last couple of years i have been more than capable of a 3hr marathon time, but due to bad luck, injury, weather, the closest i have got is 3hr 30 mins, i think manly due to frustration i started to look for a different challenge, first on my list was the North Pole Marathon this has been put on hold until i win the lottery because it cost £6000, Then i fancied rowing across the Atlantic again this has been put on hold until i win the lottery, oh and i learn to swim.....

Then i found it, 6 days running across the Sahara desert - The Marathon Des Sables - Billed as the hardest foot race in the world, thats more like it i thought.

Little did i know how popular this sort of event is, 2007 race is fully booked, 2008 race is fully booked, 2009 entries are not open but they have had enough interest to ensure that this race will be fully booked.
The only way for me to enter was to go on the waiting list for 2007 and hope a few people drop out, i got myself added to the waiting list at number 43!!!
