michael Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Someone's in their local paper... So they are! But I'm not going to post the link because it's quite personal and Ian might not want it posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Come on guys lets get Ian's sponsor money up a bit more. Have one less pint tonight and send that money to this worthy cause. Every little bit helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 Well I'm back at work and thus getting paid to be on here so I thought I'd update the thread and say - crikey, that sucked. With running, most days you do your normal run. Some days you get a crazy supercharged and do really well. Some days your body goes "you know what? I'm really not interested" and unfortunately it was one of those days So at about 4 miles in the wheels fell off. Only 9 miles to go If you've never exercised until you've burnt up all the stored energy in your muscles (I was going to call it glycogen? But now I think that's the poisonous bit of anitfreeze haha) and then carried on exercising, you probably can't appreciate just how godawful you feel while doing it But I couldn't let you lot down, that was a fantastic amount of sponsorship from a hardcore of jolly decent people on here (some flush enough with their gambling lifestyle to even sponsor me twice ) so somehow I finished the run in a quite-awful-but-finishing-was-enough-for-me 2hrs 40mins or thereabouts. To my surprise my legs have fixed themselves in under two days so I must be doing something right, minimal blisterage (unlike the epic waterbomb replica I had last year) but I do have a blackened toenail that I must have been slowly fretting off somehow - nice I'll stick a scan of the newspaper article up as I namechecked the club - yes it's personal stuff but if it raised awareness it's worth it isn't it, and if I didn't want people to know, telling a reporter was probably a bad move Thanks again all -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Well done! I'm more than happy to sponsor somebody else to do it, far too much like hard work for my liking! What was your final total raised in the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
