Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Because of accidental covid related scheduling issues the Brighton marathon, Hever castle 10k and tonbridge half marathon fall within a month. So I thought I would set up a just giving page as everyone kept asking me “are you doing it for charity?” I wasn’t…but if you feel like donating to this great charity that would be swell!!! : 

Update after Brighton marathon…I completed it and then heard it was one of the longest on record !! My time was 4 hours 9 mins which I have scaled down to 4 hrs 5 mins assuming the correct distance.  Thanks to all those who supported me on the day- Carl, Amy, Erin, Caitlyn, my mum and dad and surprise cousins Simon and Liz!!   Also a massive thanks to all those random people and volunteers along the way who cheered for me and the other runners - it was an amazing atmosphere !! A great day out.  Hopefully my hamstrings recover soon and I can get training for the 10k. Should be a walk in the park .. or at least a run in the grounds of a castle…..

Update after Hever 10k…so I found out the race is actually 10.5k. !!  This is becoming a bad habit.  Amazing weather and a great event with all the bikes and swimmers buzzing around (triathlon).   Thanks to Carl, Amy, Erin and Caitlyn for supporting me.  I seemed slightly slower than last year but managed to come first in the over 40 category which can’t  be that  bad!  Off to tonbridge in 2 weeks for the big Half!!  (Don’t forget to check out the extra photos and if you can please donate something to this great charity!) 

Update after Tonbridge half marathon….It was a beautiful day and almost a beautiful run (missing my pb by 9 seconds).  I’m happy though as pre run prep was somewhat disrupted by a Guinness fuelled funeral wake 2 days before and the Tonbridge course being somewhat more undulating that my previous Brighton half pb. Thanks to Caitlyn, Amy and Erin for supporting me on this and all the runs!   That’s it for now!  (No doubt 2022 will give rise to more Ridic running challenges for me). Thanks for all the people who have donated to this brill charity so far and anyone who hasn’t yet thanks in advance!!
