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,

5 Days to go

Really where has the time gone. Only 5 days to go and errr, I think I have not trained anywhere near what I should of for the race. Yes I have done some races and even managed to do 24 miles on the WHW but will it suffice on race day? Saturday night will be the judge of that. The weather is not looking to be kind to us, I have trained in snow, sleet, gale force winds etc so at least I will be slightly prepared for the onslot that awaits me and another 1000 runners on Saturday.

My biggest issue is that I am carrying a small injury or muscle fatigue. I was planning on doing some swimming and a couple of other runs this week, nothing big ( 4 miles and 1 mile) but I might even postpone them and get the foam roller out and stretch, I will not loose my fitness in 5 days. This is also my carb loading week :D.
