UPDATE! 25 Oct 2010

It is with great sadness that I write this update. On the 25th October 2010 my little sister sadly passed away at the age of 31. She had bravely battled MND for 11 years. She had never given up and had achieved to much even after developing MND, winning the Open University award for achievement to gaining a degree. She will be greatly missed and will for ever be in our thoughts. Love you sis :D

Well where to start, it was all originally done as I was carry to much weight and wanted to loose it. Which I am sure it most peoples story begins, however after loosing the weight I actually started to enjoy running outside. Joined some forums (BCTTT & Runners World), there inspiration and helpfullness has helped me a lot. Now I am also swimming and commuting a couple of times a week to work on my bike! Now since 2011 I accomplished more than I thought I ever would or could. From 5k runs to an Ironman in 2014 and The Outlaw in 2015. In 2016 I am going down a different route, I will be trying Ultra's as you can see from my events I have already entered 3 so far. Now I thought wait a minute I need to have one more motivation and that people is my sister Emma. Since the age of 20 she was very unfortunate and developed MND (Motor Neurone Disease), she is now 31 years of Age. Her health has deteriatated over the years and we nearly lost her last year. My mum had to give up her work and become a full time carer for my sister and my dad takes over the duties when he comes home from work. All the races I do will be in aid of my sister and all money raised will be donated to MND to help raise awareness and research in the disease. Thanks for all your help and enjoy my training blog,

16th October

Yeah the weekend has arrived. Got up in a positive note thinking I would go a wee hour bike ride, I had to put on the mudguards which was a small challenge then had to inflate the tyres a bit more. After which my daughter wanted to watch me do all this to the bike. Got talking to our neighbours and before you know what time it was it was nearly lunch. So decided to leave it and take my daughter (Erin) to he nana's and papa's. This is where she normally goes for a Saturday afternoon. Which the wife (Yvonne) and I had to scour the shops looking for party food, prizes etc. Yes we did the silly thing of organising a halloween party for Erin, I know it is not for another two weeks but we thought better to start early as knowing our luck it will come to a couple of days before the day and everything will be gone. So that was pretty much our Saturday. Ooooh I booked to see a Pyhsio
