My story

 

Hi Everyone !

Thanks for visiting my justgiving page in aid of Cornwall Air Ambulance !!

I am about to embark upon a challenge of a lifetime : To complete 7 coastal marathons in 7 consecutive months - The 7x7x7 Challenge.

It is organised by www.endurancelife.com and starts on November 8th 2008 in Dorset with the first marathon. Each marathon is totally off-road and involves a serious amount of climbing and descending. The final marathon on Exmoor has a total of 12,000ft of climb and descent (if I make it that far !).

The full list is :

08.11.08 Dorset (jurassic coastal path) COMPLETE ! SEE BLOG !!
06.12.08 Gower Peninsula (yes that's Wales in December) COMPLETE !
24.01.08 Portland (Portland Bill Lighthouse !) COMPLETE !!
21.02.09 South Devon COMPLETE !!
14.03.09 Pembrokeshire COMPLETE !! SEE BLOG !!
04.04.09 Cornwall (Around Lands end area) COMPLETE !!
09.05.09 Exmoor (The Beast to finish me off completely !) COMPLETE !!

There are more details here (plus entry details if you want to join me!): http://www.endurancelife.co.uk/event.asp?series=1

The predicted average running time for the Ultimate 7x7x7:  1day 12hr 12min 13sec

Okay, so not including training I will be running 1.5 days of coastal marathon races - all for charity mate - now that's what I call value for money. Every pound you donate really does equate to a significant amount of pain on my part, however with the excellent work provided by the Air Ambulance paramedics, i think it's wholly deserved.

Please give a little bit to keep the boys and girls flying to save lives !

Cheers
Craig
