Frosty Jack Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 On Sunday 12th March I will be running the Inverness Half Marathon. That's 13.1 miles (21 Km), which I'm aiming to do in under two hours. For a while now I've been training in all weathers, now averaging around 30 miles a week. Some of you may know that this represents a serious 'change of lifestyle' for me, so obviously I have a very good reason for doing this. I will be running in aid of Diabetes UK, and really want to raise as much as I possibly can. This is where you can help. All contributions would be very welcome, no matter how big or small, or if you prefer to take the chance of me falling flat on my face after half a mile, you can sponsor me per mile. You can even donate online. Even if you can't manage anything, some non-financial support would be greatly appreciated. Leave a message here or PM for details.Thank you.

Michael MacLennan Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 I'm doing the Edinburgh half-marathon later this month, I fully sympathise with you... seen that I come from near Inverness, I actually meant to enter that event, shame I forgot until it was too late... if you're interested in even longer distances you should consider the Loch Ness marathon in October, that's a great route to do, curving around the loch, almost enough to take your mind off the agonising pain...

Paulscoconutass Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 You've got 10 of my hard-earned Euros. Anyone who can run more than a couple of miles in this shite weather deserves that in my book anyway! Silly question, but any chance you'll be in a pub / club this week, or anywhere that it'd be easy to drop off some cash-cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
