It has been two months since I last put on a pair of running shoes with the intention of going for a run. I have been lazy, overindulgent and I have procrastinated on several occasions. Instead of honouring my body by doing some form of exercise every week, I have done nothing more than exercised my arm when lifting the pint glass to my mouth and I have exercised my arse by… oh wait, no I haven’t.

My penance:

March
2 Half Marathons

April
5 mile village cross country run

May
Possibly a couple of 10k races

June
Lowe Alpine Mountain Marathon
(or Rat Race Bristol Adventure)

July
100km walk (sponsored event in under 30 hours)
Tough Guy

August
Rat Race Manchester Adventure (if I don’t do the Bristol one)

September
Windsor Half Marathon

October
Ridgeway Run
Original Mountain Marathon

November
Hellrunner

Plus another little something that I might tell you about sometime.
