Running challenge update April: 185 km covered (target 165 km). Total 717 km this year. Four months down and it's fair to say that I'm already knackered! April was a pretty decent month for the weather but was also very tough on my feet and legs. I lost a couple of toenails and ended up with bad cramp on several occasions! A massive thanks you to everyone who has donated towards my fund-raiser for Help Bristol Homeless so far. You guys rock! :) Bernie

March: 192 km covered (target 175 km). Total 531 km this year. Another month down and I'm a quarter of the way through my challenge! This month I had a few near misses in the snow and sleet. Over the last couple of months, I've got to know one of the homeless chaps who lives in a tent just outside my apartment. His name is Shaun. He tries to sell magazines when he can but can't get the supply every week. It was humbling getting to know someone for whom snow and bad weather are more than just an inconvenience. Much Love. Bernie

February: 155 km covered (target 155 km). Total 340 km this year. February managed to be colder and wetter than January with icy conditions in the early morning. The extreme cold and snow at the end of the month has made life especially difficult for the homeless near where I live. If you've got the time, check out Help Bristol's Homeless at the link below. They're a great charity who are devoted to building housing as a first step for getting Bristol's homeless off the street.
