Being a narcissist of the highest order (hey, I'm moving to Clapham, Libertines fans), I figured everyone would like to follow / laugh at my attempts to get fit for the 10K.
A life of beer and fags has left me feeling a little unfit, and a recent trip to health-conscious Scandanavia (melanoma-baiting excepted), the 10th anniversary of my 'retirement' from schools rugby - in addition to my 61 year old mother's impending 10 day trek across Kenya - has led me to re-assess life's priorities.
With this in mind (plus the encouragement / idea to steal, off an equally unfit friend), I have decided to run the "run london" 10K in October (http://www.runlondon.com). Notwithstanding the event being sponsored by Nike, it is an ideal opportunity to get fit, raise some money for a great charity and maybe meet some lovely ladies along the way - red is my best colour. Oh, and show those trendy wanks from over the river that sarf lahndan rules of course.
So if you're interested, refer back here on a regular basis to get updates and see photos of my walking, jogging, puking, crying and generally looking like I don't know what I've got myself into.
I guarantee every sponsor gets their own special mention on the blog where your ego will be massaged and everyone gets to see what a great person you are (whilst secretly feeling guilty that they haven't yet contributed).
Don't do it for me, do it for the KIDS!
