So here we go; phase two of fatmantofitman. The Great Manchester went without major incident (and raising a total of £500 for the BHF - fantastic!); however I suspect this will be much less of a walk in the park and more a stagger on the Tyne Bridge. For those of you who STILL haven't logged in. Check out 'the journey' on www.fatmantofitman.blogspot.com.

Was 19 stone 7 pounds and could just about run 1km at a push; now 15 stone 11 pounds and counting; four weeks away from 20km.

This time, it's serious; the target is £750 and this time I'm committed to it. Should manage that together shouldn't we? Now, if someone wants to take the pressure right off by just chucking in £750 they would be very welcome; however for those of us mere mortals I would be so very grateful if you could dig deep for the BHF no matter how big or how small, for my Dad, for the British Heart Foundation; for me!

Thank you my friends.
