<p>In 2010, I am aiming to run 500 miles and on Dec 31st I completed the full 500 miles.</p> <p>For those proper runners, this may not seem much, but if you know me, then you know I struggle to run to the bar for last orders. And if you know me, you ought to sponsor me.</p> <p><strong>1p a mile would be &pound;5.00</strong> and I would be greatly motivated. (Of course, any more would be greatly appreciated)</p> <p>This is the charity: <strong><a href="http://www.josiesdragonfly.org/">Josie's Dragonfly Trust</a>, </strong>a great charity and a marvellous cause.</p> <p>Go to their site and learn all about it, and also buy some marvellous jewellery to support the charity.</p> <p>Follow my progress on Twitter<strong> <a href="http://twitter.com/dannline">@dannline</a> </strong>or<strong> <a href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23500milesin2010">#500milesin2010</a>&nbsp;- </strong>or click<strong> Read more </strong>to read<strong> my blog</strong></p> <p><strong>Blog bit&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>Dec 31st, 2010 - 100%</strong></p> <p><strong>I've finished!</strong></p> <p>500 miles run over 2010!</p> <p><strong><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px;">In total: 74 runs, 502 miles, 82 hours 15 mins.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px;"><span style="line-height: normal; font-size: 11px; color: #333333;">January: 56.28m (I wasn't working so I had too much time)<br />February: 34.74m<br />March: 52.82m<br />April: 18.44m (but I was stuck in Italy with volcanic ash)<br />May: 57.77<br />June: 38.16<br />July: 47.77<br />August: 53.16<br />September: 44.03<br />October: 29.39 (I started college and struggled with motivation)<br />November: 26.03 (As above but I also had an essay to do)<br />December: 43.63&nbsp;</span></span></strong></p> <p><strong>May 16th, 2010 - 38%</strong></p> <p>A quick update. After an extended volcanic ash holiday in Sicily, where I managed to just one bare foot run along the beach, I'm getting back on track.</p> <p>My next target is to run home from work, or Westminster to Ladywell.</p> <p>But in the meantime, some stats.</p> <p>January - 56 miles</p> <p>February - 34 miles</p> <p>March - 52 miles</p> <p>April - 18 miles</p> <p>May (so far) - 29 miles</p> <p>This is all strange, as I've run furthest in January right at the start and when I was running through the snow. Although, I had more time to run when I wasn't working, so I'm running fewer longer runs now.</p> <p>Longest run - March 29th - 10.9 miles (Holborn to Ladywell via Greenwich and Blackheath)</p> <p>Shortest run - April 28th - 2.62 miles (weighed down by two weeks of daily pasta, beer and wine)</p> <p><strong>March 21st, 2010 - 25%!</strong></p> <p>I'm now passed 25% (126.06 miles to be precise over 20 runs).</p> <p>So all going well - thanks go out to all those who have promised to help along the way (and thanks for the general disbelief from others!)</p> <p>That's all for now. &nbsp;(to check where I am remember click on...&nbsp;<strong><a style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;" href="http://twitter.com/dannline">@dannline</a>&nbsp;</strong>or<strong>&nbsp;<a style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;" href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23500milesin2010">#500milesin2010</a>.</strong></p> <p><strong><br /></strong></p> <p><strong>March 3rd, 2010 &nbsp;<em>An update and thanks</em></strong></p> <p>Big thanks must go out to the very nice people at<a href="http://www.pilon.co.uk/"> Pilon</a>&nbsp;- who have agreed to donate &pound;1 a mile once I have finished.
