Has been too long since I updated for my millions (ahem) of blog fans but for more than one reason I feel needs must so in the words of Messrs Barlow, Williams et al I am indeed 'back for good'. At least until the end of April anyway. Right now you are either going to be asking 'why the end of April' or gouging your eyes out with a spoon/ slicing your ears off with a rusty knife in order to avoid more charity talk. Guess your still reading right?
Just to recap am doing 3 marathons in 3 weekends in April trying to raise over £6000 for charities supporting children with disabilities. You can read more on my previous blog or click on one of the links I shall post at the end of this tirade of nonsensical witterings. Now depending on who you are and where you are reading this blog you are likely to be thinking either '3 marathons in 3 weekends, that is awesome/mental' or '3 marathons in 3 weekends, I have, or know people who have, done a marathon every weekend for the last 100 weeks' so I will let you decide on the magnitude of my efforts but please rest assured the cause, either way, is a very good one.
Now if you click here you will identify one of the reasons I felt the motivation to blog again today after a huge amount of procrastination. Yes that is right my efforts are being communicated in local newspapers and on local radio so if anyone is reading this as a direct result of seeing it in the paper I hope you have a warm fuzzy feeling in your stomach because, lets be honest, this is really all for your benefit isn't it. May I now take the opportunity to ask you, if your at all interested in the charity night to please buy a ticket, the more money raised the better. It will be an absolutely cracking night. I wont bang on about it here but please feel free to contact me if you need or want to know anything more at all...
Sorry but I haven't finished yet as it is with the aforementioned charity night in mind that I feel I must share my latest secured auction item with you all, a football signed by the Manchester United first team squad. Now I'm not a Manchester United fan, although I do have a soft spot for them, but this in my opinion is what makes them the biggest club in the world. Whilst all other Premier League teams have politely refused my request for items, bar Liverpool, (not even the mighty Spurs gave me anything :-( )Manchester United go that extra mile and may possibly earn themselves another generation of fans in a a family. Forget the bunkum about most of their fans not coming from Manchester, trust me if you go to a game they do, it is just that they have more fans than anyone else worldwide too and it is the little things like this that makes them that club. I'm pretty chuffed to be honest as you can probably tell...
Guess I should mention the running too before I go an annihilate a bowl of shredded wheat. Not much to report, training is going well although am feeling quite exhausted. Doing 60+ miles a week for last few weeks and will probably do about 225 by the end of this month even after having 5 days off for the now medically recognised man flu. Thankfully next week is a 'recovery week' with only just over 50 miles planned. I am sure my body will greatly appreciate it.
Anyway as I said I am going to be talking a lot more drivel over the next three months, hope you all stick around for the journey. So to reiterate please buy a ticket, come and run the marathon with me on 2nd April or just have a click on one of the links below or read my previous blog to find out more about the charities...
Until next time!
