Update 1st june 2010
I would like to say a big thank you to eveyone who supported me in the Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday May 23 2010 - messages and sponsorship have been great.
In Edinburgh on Sunday the tempearature was around 29 degrees and for a Scottish person thats about 45 degrees. The time was no classic but still really proud to hav...e done it.
With everyone's help we have managed to raise just over £1,600 ( including giftaid) for for the charity Alzheimers. I attach some links below to the times and some shocking pictures of a large man run/walking round Edinburgh with a shocking outfit. Headgear was functional not fashion : )
But you know what I bloody did it....................

Ever since Marathon changed their name to Snickers has my name failed to be mentioned in conjunction with the word marathon.
Well on 23 May 2010 this will change and I will be running/walking/crawling the Edinburgh marathon for Alzheimer's. This will be my first marathon and the Ethiopian runners aren't exactly quaking in their boots at the prospect of me defeating them. I have decided to run the marathon for Alzheimer's which is a really worthwhile cause, as it will affect almost everyone's life in one way or another.
As you all know, I am not your average marathon runner shape but I have been training hard and I will do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know there are many charity requests at this time of the year but if you are able to give a small amount that would be great. Even if not thanks for everyone's support and best wishes.
Thanks again.
PS - Run forrest run
