Well I'm up to just over 10 miles now which is what I ran on Wednesday night! About 7 miles in my groin gave way but I made it home which was good. I think as long as I stay together I may be able to do this! Please show your support and sponsor me if you haven't already. Thanks Si :)

I done another 8m yesterday. Very hard work this time. Got through it though, just another 5 to go!

Just done 8 miles in 1 hour 14 mins. I was only meant to do 7 miles. Please dig deep and sponsor me. Thanks. Simon

WOW! Fantastic. Thank you everyone who has sponsored me. My training is going well. I've gone from 3 to 5 miles in a week.

Right the training is going well. I've not felt too bad since my 3 mile run last night. Upping it to 5 miles for the next run!!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I've decided to take the next step up in the distance to a half marathon. This will be a massive challenge for me and I really hope I can complete it.

I am still running in aid of the MND Association to help try and raise as much money and awareness as possible in the fight against this nasty disease that took my Dad back in 2003.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Any donation will be greatly received no matter how big or small. Thank you for your time.
