Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

At the start of this year, I was at the beginning of a "Couch to 5k" training programme. I was committed to doing it at the time but I never really thought I would be able to consider running a Half Marathon so soon. My target was just to get to running 5k non-stop in around 30 minutes.

My Wife and I have continued the training after this programme and have twice run for just over 8 miles. This is currently as far as I think I can run but have now gone and challenged myself to do a Half Marathon in Palma (Majorca) in October this year.

While I am doing this for personal health reasons, I would like to continue to raise some money and awareness on behalf of The Pituitary Foundation. This is a great charity who maximise the value of all donations making sure almost all of it gets to the people who need it. Please take the time to check them out here https://www.pituitary.org.uk/

So onto the challenge - as I have not yet run further than 8.x miles, I cannot give any indication of what time I am likely to acheive. I can however share that my target is to complete it in under 2 hours. If you donate some money on this page, guess the time you think I will not beat. If I come second to your time then I will match your donation.

Thank you for your support, I will try to beat all of the times submitted (the realistic ones that is ;-) )
