Thanks for dropping by...

I'm Ethan and I picked up running again in August 2012 after my bike was stolen. Since then my passion for running has re-ignited. 

I am starting this page on 24 April 2013, the day in 2013 where I have run a total of 700 miles. I've decided to give my running some purpose and am running for the Life in my Shoes campaign - a fitting title I think. This campaign is going into schools in the UK and addressing stigma and difference. Its a different approach to end bullying and to make the world a safer place for people of all types, shapes, sizes, colours, backgrounds... So it fits with my overall beliefs in life.

My goal is to ultimately run the Western States in California. But that could still be a few years out. So in the next 12 months I committ to running a marathon or an ultra marathon (26 miles +). I'm hoping for the London or Paris Marathons, but may also do the London to Brighton run. 

Rather than asking you to sponsor me to run the marathon, I am going to ask you to sponsor me to run, period. So starting from 1 Jan 2013 to approximately 1 June 2014 I pleadge to run a mile for every pound you pledge. My goal is to run 3,000+ miles in that time and I am well on my way.

I'd like to be in the position that I can't acctually run enough!

Keep up with my progress though Facebook, Map My Run, or on the Life in my shoes blog. I'll be writing about the people I meet along my journey, the joy of running (and some of the pain), and the tips and hints I pick up along the way. 

Thank you for your support!
