Story

Job done 5h22m. Great experience but never again. Body in bits. Fantastic fund raising for Sue Ryder. Thank you all.

Thats it, work done. Expo Thu to register and buy nipple plasters LOL. I can't believe the day is almost here. Gulp.

LOL.... According to T thats the norm Bob ;-)

OMG Bob and Eileen Wales.... Thank you. Amazing donation from two people who just happened to be in Aruba when Tracy and I got married nearly 6 years ago. Thank you.

Proper pre-race nerves have messed with my head this week. I need to get on the start line now and get running.

Busy day at work and domestically again, not getting the miles in recently. I guess that will help with pre race limb recovery from the long winter of training?

Nice gentle run with two good friends training for a Tough Mudder. Bright warm sunshine giving me a taste of the inevitable heat on race day.

My eldest step son has an awful cold and cough. He has imposed a self regulated solitary confinement so I don't catch it. "I don't want to ruin all the training ".... Bless him. Now where is that hand sanitizer?

Thank you Neil.... Very much appreciated.

Fund raising target reached with two events still planned.... Brilliant. Thank you to everyone.... I have two weeks to get fit now LOL

First run in the sun for 6 months... But that wind still cuts through. So close to my fund raising target now... Thank you to each and everyone who have donated. Has anyone got 44.77 down the back of their sofa to get me over the line please?

Last long training run on Sunday. Northampton half marathon around the picturesque grounds of Delapre Abbey....

Very humbled to get a big donation from Cobblers star Alex Nicholls. Inured terribly against Port Vale breaking his leg twice, Alex is our star striker for next season in hopefully league one. Get well soon Alex.... And thank you again.

That was horrible today... Slippy, icy, crunchy, snow drifts, slush, and yet more snow.... This has been the hardest thing I've done in my life including 7 years in the Royal Navy.... And I've not even done the race yet.

Cracking night last night. Great support from all and over 800 quid raised..... Thank you. I'll put it on here once I can get to the bank.

Wish I'd gone for a run after work now. More heavy snow due. Aggggh! Please go away, I'm trying to get fityet.

PB over 6 miles today. 53m45s.... Happy days.

Over 26 miles this week, just need to put it all together in one run now. Easy HA HA.

A personal best of 2h4m51s at the Silverstone half marathon. Chuffed is an understatement.

Been gorging on carbs this week. Silverstone half on Sunday. Practice run for London with 10,000 people.

Looking fwd to getting back to training after a 2 week injury break. Silverstone 1/2 next Sun...yesssss.

15 mile barrier beaten today in the snow. Not long left to get this old body ready..

Cheers banjo... I'm still not sure why I'm doing it LOL.

Top 5 fund raisers race with the celebs. Please sponsor me this weekend. I want to trip jedward up.

7 mile speed recorded broken last night 1h4mins... The training is working.
