Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having run 16 very slow miles one day last autumn I decided that it'd be a really good idea to run an ultra-marathon, so I signed up to the Race To The King (http://www.racetotheking.com). I may have had a beer or two and I was undoubtedly encouraged by my friend Annette. As with many things, I'm not sure why it seemed like a good idea at the time, but it did.
(In case you were wondering, RTTK is a 53 mile, 2 day race over the South Downs ending up at Winchester Cathedral.)
What IS definitely a good idea is that I've decided to raise money for First Days and helping them support young families living in poverty in Berkshire and the surrounding area.
In order to get myself fit enough to complete this challenge, I have signed myself up to various other races/events in the lead up to RTTK. So I shall be doing the following over the coming months:
1. Bramley 10 (10 miles - 19th February)
2. Reading Half Marathon (13.1 miles - 19th March)
3. Southampton Marathon (26.2 miles - 23rd April)
4. Woodley 10k (6.2 miles - 7th May)
5. Just Walk 30km (18 miles - 13th May)
6. Royal Berkshire 10km (6.2 miles - 21st May)
7. Forest 5 (5 miles - 21st June)
8. Race to the King 2 day Ultra Marathon (53 miles - 24th/25th June)
This is a total of just over 137 miles. Eeeek!

If you can spare a few pennies, First Days is such a worthy cause. Thank you for your donation!
