A Major Milestone!

I just wanted to let you all know that your generosity and support has already raised £1100 in online and offline donations for the MS Society!

Well done everyone!

You've all been amazing and I honestly never dreamed you'd all donate so much in such a short space of time, you should all be incredibly proud :)

It's now less than 2 weeks away and hopefully the training will pay off on the day, I just need to keep up with Tim and get over that line to have made all your sponsorship worthwhile.


If you haven't already sponsored me then it's not too late, you can click on the link below and leave a donation and message on my MS Society charity fundraising page :-

I know it's only a half marathon (but trust me that's tough enough) but I've been taking this seriously, because if you are willing to sponsor me then the least I can do is put in the best effort I can.

So, since agreeing to do this 6 weeks ago I have racked up 129.05 miles in training runs. Bringing my average minute miles down from over 10.30 to 9.11 per mile, I'm certainly never going to be giving any serious runners cause for concern but it does hopefully mean I'll be able to cover the distance in just under 2 hours on the day.........

By the looks of the training, and staying on schedule, I'll have almost run for 24 hours :)

Here's my stats from Endomondo just to show I've been a good boy.

I will be updating the page after the event as well as listing everyone who has so generously donated to this cause because I think you all deserve due credit for doing such an amazing job in such a short space of time.

Make it fun?

I also thought that maybe we could do a Sweepstake? If everyone puts down the expected time for me to complete then we can see who's closest at the end?

So far both my half marathon attempts have been 2 hours and 2 hours 5 minutes respectively, although I am hoping to pull in the Great North in under 2 hours as both these runs were on very hilly roads.

Leave your guesses in the comments below or on Facebook and we'll see who's closest :)
