About me

I am a 40 year old engineer from Hampshire, slowly expanding around the waist.

So I thought I would drag my lithe svelte 12 stone frame out for a run and raise some money for a very worthy cause at the same time. There are two problems with this idea:

1. I currently have a 16 and a half stone (and increasing) figure.
2. I have hated running, practically from that very first cross country run I did at primary school.

Apart from these minor issues this should be a doddle! So for 2008, the plan is to enter the Great South Run as part of the Action Aid team. Not only that, I am also thinkng about a couple of other 'warm up' runs before October. What happens now? I suppose I had better start walking while I wait for my Application pack.
