Runners' Personal Pages
I love these sites because not only is it interesting to see what other runners are going through in the time leading up to the marathon, but they are so kind and supportive as well. It's like we've accidentally formed our own community!
| The Reluctant Runner - here's a very interesting website - a good companion to my own - this one's for a British man whose goal is also to run the London Marathon in 2002. And he's a new runner too! |
| London Marathon Page by a German runner, Uli Sauer. Very informative and entertaining. I get butterflies just looking at his page! |
| Breathless in Blisworth - another great London Marathon 2002 runner's diary from Ian Painter. Also, recipes. Yum! |
| The Running Commentary - Andy from the Cotswolds (lucky!) and his training for London. |
| Paul Walters Running the 2002 London Marathon - yet another great personal website detailing the training and fund-raising for the 2002 London Marathon. |
| Chris McLaren - my good friend and London training and running partner. |
| Marlon Cole - an experienced marathoner who is running his first London this year. |
| Peter Fryer - raising funds for the British Heart Foundation |
| Rob Geraghty - raising funds for the National Society for Epilepsy |
| John Fisher - also running for the British Heart Foundation |
| Andy Menin - yet another Brit running the London Marathon. Yeesh! Where are all the Americans? Andy is running to raise funds for The Quidenham Hospice, a children's hospice. |
| 2001 London Marathon Report - a humorous, Bridget Jones-style diary of the days leading up to the marathon. Funny! |
| Craig Williamson - running for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children |
| Debbi Wagman - running for the British Epilepsy Association |
Other (unrelated) sites
| UKtoYou.com - my baby! We sell British food, books, and gifts, all hand-picked by yours truly. |
| MardiGrasStore.com - my company's first site. I designed it. |
| BigEasySeafood.com - this one too. |
| The Onion - funny stuff! |
| Internet Movie Database - this is one of the coolest sites ever. Very handy if you're watching a movie and can't figure out 'where you've seen that person before'. |
| Quitnet - A bit of a lifesaver for me! Helped me when I quit smoking on July 5, 2001. |
| EvanMather.com - My big brother's website. He makes fantastic digital films. Yay! |
| Southern Backtones - The website for my friend Mike's band that I designed. Even though they're not British, I like them! They cover a Pulp song. That's good enough for me! |
| Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts - the school I spent two of the best years of my life. |
| Louisiana State University - this is where I spent 6 years pursuing my undergrad degree. Sigh. |
Books (I love to read!)
I have read most of these books, and if I haven't, it's only because I haven't had time to get them. Don't feel the need to be as obsessive about reading every book on running, as I seem to be. Agh!
