Greetings Fellow Earth Dwellers (or indeed any passing Aliens who might happen to be reading this)

****Well folks I did it.....4 hrs 25 minutes and 44 seconds to be precise. Given the limited amount of training I did I think that is not such a bad time. A huge thank you to everyone that has sponsored me it is so much appreciated.****

Thanks for dropping by......Yes I'm at it again, I'm after your hard earned cash - I'm waddling my merry way from Whitebridge to Inverness once more - all 26.2 miles of it - if your free on 03/10/10 and in the area give me a shout as I shuffle by - I'll be easy to spot - red faced, puffing and a bit hippo like, somewhere near the back.

Training (!) has begun, I know some of you have been unfortunate enough to have witnessed this eye damaging, mind warping spectacle. I do hope you haven't had too many nightmares containing old ladies in Lycra - not a good image

 

23/05/10  Ran home from work last night after a 12 hr shift - about 6.5 miles - it was sooo hot even at 8 pm. Was really cream crackered and glad to get home. Got a splendid woofy greeting from Max the dog when I got in so that was nice. Hes got a poorly leg at the moment and is confined to barracks on bed rest .....(Try telling him that....)

 

21/07/10 Out for a 7 mile run in the rain this morning, super squelchy feet and wet through but great run, I love running in the rain...

25/07/10 Lovely 10.5 miles with the Ladies. Great way to spend a Sunday mornng

25/08/10 ran about 13 very hilly miles today - I thought it was a longer route than it was - silly me. Have mapped out a 16 mile route and an 18 mile route so will be doing those shortly.....watch this space....

30/08/10 16 miles today....

28/09/10 Nearly there now.... out for 30 mins this morning with Max trotting along side of me. Only one more short run left before the big one ....oh my.....

 

This year I'm raising money for Breast Cancer Care so please be generous. Remember every penny counts and is much appreciated.

 

The facts...

The biggest risk factor, after age, is gender

More people are being diagnosed with breast cancer, but survival rates are improving

Breast cancer also affects men.

The stats...

 

Around 46,000 people are diagnosed with brest cancer each year - thats one person every 11 minutes

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women under 35 - nearly 1,500 women aged 35 - 39 are diagnosed anually

Just under 12,000 women and around 90 men die from breast cancer in the UK each year

Breat cancer is the second biggest cause of death from cancer cancer for women in the UK
