Ok! here’s the dealio! I got bored of training for runs! so, as part of my early mid life crises, instead of (sorry as well as) buying a new motorbike, there were 3 things I wanted to achieve growing up, being on TV, sailing a Trans Atlantic and getting in the kind of shape you see on MensHealth. Those of you know me, know I have achieved 2 for 3. For those who have known me for longer know I got a bit podgy there for a while!! So to keep me motivated over next few months I've decided to have a crack at the competition.

I'm also setting up a Just Giving account for those who laugh or have any doubts! So put your money where your mouth is, the money will go to the Macmillian Cancer Research charity.

You've all seen those unbelievable before and after shots in the mags so here’s my tubsy Glenn one. Bare in mind this is going to have a massive impact on my life, change of diet, change of daily routine (I commute 4 hours a day!!) and even less drinking at the weekend! So support the effort and share! tweet! like! whatever you do!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
