********UPDATE*****************
I ran the race yesterday and completed in 35 mins and 25 secs. A big thank you to everyone who has made a donation so far and to those who are going to.
This page will remain live until 27/12/09 so there's still time to donate
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
As the creep towards my forties rapidly increases with every day and as I've had nothing to do since finishing my youth work qualification I have decided to do something to get fit. As I am 3 weeks in to a six week 5K training programme (and still actually doing the bloody training!!!!), I thought it would be time to put the money where my mouth is (or YOUR money more precisely). It just so happens that, on the day I should be running my 5k race (Sunday 27th September), there is an organised race in the form of the Milton Keynes Big Fun Run. I have roped my best mate in to provide me with words of encouragement and shouted motivational slogans such as "Feel the Burn!!", "No pain - No Gain" or "That bloke just dropped a tenner". Those of you who know me well should be staring aghast at the sheer impossibility of me doing anything remotely physical other than change the channel or scratch my......well you get the idea.
I have chosen Catch 22 as my charity not just because I work for them and am trying to gain brownie points - but because they truly do great work with young people throughout the country and would benefit from more funding and people knowing about them.
So please try and dig deep and help me make this personal achievement a little more worth while.
Big Love
Brad
