Hello and welcome to my site.

Around Feb 08 I started street running with a few colleagues and ever since then I have tried to pound the streets a couple of times a week. To some my efforts may seem a little feeble, but considering the fact that pre-Feb baring the odd treadmill run I think I could tally all of my runs counting on just one hand alone! Of course there was the fun run of past which was probably the only street (public) run I have ever done.

So what is this site all about?

In mid July I will be doing a proper 10km and people have asked whether I will be running for charity. I will be running for Move Europe and have set up a justgiving page here. The problem I had/have is that I hope, if possible, to get a Marathon place in the ballot (unfortunately Move can't get charity places), however, if I am unsuccessful in the ballot(likely) I will have to most likely run for charity and hence need to raise lots of funds for that charity and sadly not Move. I was therefore in a bit of a dilemma, I would like everyone to sponsor towards Move but obviously don't want all you guys to have to keep putting out...this one is only a 10k after all. So I have decided to up the ante a bit...

You're doing what!?

In March I picked up one of those nifty Nike+ kits (hence the graphs!). As of writing this (July 08) I have racked up nearly 250km's (155miles), that's almost 6 marathons, the width of the English Channel. So I decided to set myself a little challenge and that is it: by New Years Eve '08 I am challenging myself to run at least 500kms. In under 5 months I will be running another 155miles that is more than one marathon a month or at least 10km a week.
