Aye, that's me, it's not an entirely wrong description either. :)

Anyway, what's this about? ABout 5, maybe 6, months ago I quit the weed. I'd smoked 20 a day, at least, for the last 30 years and just woke up one day and stopped. I've no idea why, just did.

Trying to keep occupied led me eventually to the gym where I've started to get myself back in shape and that led to jogging :gag: A barbecue we were having one night led to another conversation with a rugby player and she challenged me to enter the Loch Ness 10K run in October. Now, one thing I can never pass up is a challenge, especially when it's supported by a couple of bottles of wine :D So I've entered.

I've never run that distance, I've never done anything like this before, but I will. Training is increased and I'm feeling pretty confident about it, to the extent that, providing I don't get any injuries, I feel that I can ask to be sponsored.

I'm not going to say anything else, if you want to sponsor me to help guys, and girls, who have put themselves on the line please do. If you don't then that's absolutely fine too.

The charity is Help for Heroes and my page on just giving is

here, please help

The home page for the run itself is here
