The first day of training

So here we go again. I have decided to do the 10 KM run, even though I nearly killed myself in the hail storm this year. But being competitive I know I can do better than 67 mins. 3 years ago I did it in 54 mins, and I want to do better.
But I also want to raise money for my charity again. Debra Ireland is such a worthy cause I can't stop thinking about the work they do. So, my sacrifice is small compared to a lot of people

If you can give, I have a pledging page. My target is 2,500 -3,000 Euro. Ambitious I know, but it can be done. Here is the page:

So, first day. I went to spinning at lunch time with Bill my boss, and I am going back to boxercise tonight. I am determined to get really fit this time and no excuses.

I am also eating differently, so hopefully I can get to about 15 stone in weight. Currently I am 15 st 10 LBS, which is too much for a runner

Keep you all posted, but please pledge

YOU ONLY GET TO KEEP WHAT YOU GIVE AWAY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's a universal law:

You have to give before you get.

You must plant your seeds before you reap the harvest.

The more you sow, the more you'll reap.

In giving to others, you'll find yourself blessed.

The law works to give you back more than you have sown.

The giver's harvest is always full.

Those that obtain have little.

Those who scatter have much.

Nature does not give to those who will not spend.



Thanks
