In a moment of impulsiveness, I have signed up for a 100km continuous ultra marathon.

FAQs:

1) Q: Oh that's a long way isn't it? A:Yes, it is quite a long distance.

2) Q: What's that in old money? A: 62 miles N.B. You should understand metric by now.

3) Q: Did you think it was a 10k?! A: No, I understand basic numbers and was aware it was 100k.

4) Q: What made you want to do that? A: TBC

Not only is that quite a long distance, the course is also quite hilly, with 2170m (7119ft) of climb!

It seems like a good opportunity to lean on others for support, accountability, and motivation by means of some sponsorship for a very worthwhile cause; Alzheimer's Society.

This, and associated diseases, is something which affects so many. Whatever can be done to develop our understanding, treatment and care for those afflicted with the condition is surely worth some support.

If anyone feels like joining in on this fun adventure, then reach out; the more the merrier.
