Paris - the home of romance, artists and streets paved with merde de chien. 

There is no better way to see the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and the Champs-Élysées than as a blur, obscured by several thousands French running blurs, through eyes full of sweat, blood and tears.

OK, so I’m an idiot for actually volunteering to run 26.2 miles of French soil but at least I’m doing it for a good cause: the children’s charity, Get Kids Going! - www.getkidsgoing.com

It’s a brilliant charity that gives disabled children and young adults the opportunity to participate in sport, so please give generously.

And if not for the kids, then at least for the hilarious (?) video I’ve create (look left).
