The first 10 weeks in brief

I am training for le marathon de Medoc in September which requires me to drink 23 different Bordeaux wines and run 42.2 Kilometres. Ok. Perhaps I am not actually required to drink all 23 but I think I should make a concerted effort or it would be just as well to do some other more conventional marathon.
I have never run in any competition before, however my alcohol consumption skills have a much more solid foundation. I am going to try to turn this to my benefit.
I am in year 17 of my drinking preparation and week 10 of my anticipated 27 weeks of running before the marathon on September 11.
In this blog I will attempt to document my jogs and wine consumption. I welcome advice and encouragement. I have kept a written record of my main physical activity (including the raising of glasses) so I will put that down here for further reference
