Story

A really big thankyou to all of you who sponsored us, we met the help the hospices people at the tent at the end and got a great leg massage!

Derek's time 1hr 54   

Janis's time 2hr 07 !!!!! - which is really quite something for a first time!

Thanks for helping us help the hospices, and remember 'he who dares wins' !

*** UPDATE Stop Press ***

   We are ready as we will ever be, we have trained up to 10 miles runs. Only problem is the 8am start, which actually means getting up around 5am! Fortunately that might mean it's a tad cooler.

If a job is worth doing it's worth doing well.... so lets do this thing!

*** END UPDATE  ***

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Derek and Janis are running 13 miles each in the 2010 Scottish Half Marathon, we are running for Help the Hospices charity who treat terminally ill people. Janis lost her mum to cancer last year and was in a hospice for a few weeks, so it will mean so much to us if you can help us reach our target of £500.

A bit about Derek:

      I've been training non stop since last year ( mostly weights ) but unfortunately with the weather and numerous colds, a neck injury and 3 kids wearing me down I'm nowhere near as fit as I should be. 5 weeks to go I hoping to get some serious training in. Cycling to work and back most days should sort that out!

   Target : 2 hours...ulp... Ed. yeah right!

   Running motto : 'He who dares Rodney, he who dares...'

A bit about Janis:

   Janis has never run much in her puff, a year ago she couldn't even run to the garden gate even if a cream bun was on offer. Now she is pretty damn fit, a very determined runner!

    Target : 2.5 hours. ( +/- 6 hours. )

    Running motto : 'will run for chocolate'
