Somehow, when you're drunk and the marathon is a year away, it is really easy is to say "yeah, why not? I'll do that!".    But now it's just around the corner, reality is really beginning to set in!...

Thankfully; training is going really well and i am on course to, at least, get round the circuit!    I'm not going to give you a predicted time; as it could be rather embarrassing when Mr Blobby, or even worse Jade Goody overtakes me on the final straight...

At the moment i am managing an average of 30 to 40 miles a week and looking to up the mileage in the last month or so!   Luckily i have had someone to train with week in, week out as i have most definitely needed a kick up the proverbial to get me out on the streets! (thanks Emma!)....

Thank you all very much for visiting my site and sponsering me.  Every penny really does count. 

I am representing a fantastic local charity (see left) which gives people, who will normally not have the opportunity to realise their talent / potential, to do so.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Ron Pickering Memorial Fund will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Thanks again for sponsoring me!

Judson.
