Hi Guys
I had to agree to raise at least £150 for charity to get into the Manchester 10km run. As it's now the 3rd most popular 10km race in the world, gimps like me can't just enter. You have to do it for chaaaaaaaaaaarity mate! I've done this every year since it started 3 years ago, and fancy beating my time of 42.30 - which ain't bad for a lump like me. I particuallry enjoy beating all the dweeby amateur tri-athletes in ill fitting licra, wrap around shades and wrists dripping in expensive gadgets. Or am I talking about myself...?
Whilst 6.2miles isn't going to kill me, it's a progress check to see how I'm getting on in my training for 'Tough Guy - nettle warrior' July 24th this year. That's a 4 mile horrendous cross country run with walls, fields of nettles, 1 in 2 climbs and dense woodland follwed by a 2 1/2 mile assault course. I've done this a few times before and was even on the winning team one year.
So - as I can't be arsed chasing people up for the 2 quid sponsorship - I've got this online gig where you can whack everything on your trusty credit card. Plus the charity gets more money for some complicated tax reason if you do it this way. And no 'pay on completion' crap - stump up now, to 'pay on completion' means you don't think I'll complete it - which will result in me knocking you out.
