Story

<p>This year, I'll be running the London Marathon for the 4th time in a row. When I started four years ago, all I wanted to do was break the 4-hour mark. This year I'm shooting for a sub-3:30 hour time!</p> <p>I've worked my arse off to get into the shape I am, and this target is looking like a real possibility. If you'd like to reward me for my efforts, please give generously to the <a href="http://www.nufc.co.uk/page/Foundation/Home">Newcastle United Foundation</a>.</p> <p>Whether you're an NUFC fan or not, this is a worthy cause that helps disadvantaged youngsters and families in the north-east. <br><br>You can donate by text too. Simply text '<strong>SJAL99 &pound;2</strong>' to 70070 and donate &pound;2. If you want to donate more, just change the amount to &pound;5, &pound;10 or &pound;20!</p> <p>As ever, I'm writing up what's going on in training at <a href="http://www.sirjogalot.com">sirjogalot.com</a>.</p> <p>Thanks so much for the support!</p>
