Hi all, as you can see from my signature, I have lost a substantial amount of weight. To give me the incentive to continue losing weight and get fit, I have entered the Great North Run 2016.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_North_Run

I am a volunteer for the British Red Cross Society and have been for over 20 years, so to that end, I am raising money for the sterling work that the society does in this country. I have created a just giving page to enable funds to be raised. I am hoping to raise over £1000, so please dig deep, (don't worry, it won't all be from here. ;) )

Follow the link and that will take you to my donation page. Thanks for reading.

A donation will be winging it's way from me too later today Tom! :tu: :D
 
Certainly be donating Boss. GNR looks amazing. Great Charity to run for too
 
Current total at the end of day 1 is £100 which is absolutely amazing, thanks everyone. :yahoo:
 
I haven't even started pushing seriously for sponsors yet, but the total is standing at £175, looks like I'm going to far exceed my £1000 target! ;)
 
I would be arrested for gross indecency! :yikes: now standing at £190! ;)
 
Another 7 miles done today, legs feel like lead weights. I've been told it will get easier! :yikes: donation total currently standing at £220. ;)
 
Donated. Wow that's brilliant, keep us posted on your progress. I am a big runner, love it, keeps me sane. You will get addicted I promise you...and it honestly does get better! If you need any advice just shout.
 
Thanks for your donation GS, greatly appreciated. ;) I'm still a big chunky chap who doesn't like running, but I'm getting a perverse pleasure as I'm sat here typing whilst aching from head to toe! :yikes: :))
 
I will be naked shortly (oops! wrong topic! :D ) I'm just letting the water heat up after MrsHogg had her bath. ;)

It's a weird and satisfying feeling isn't it?! I love my blisters, Find them very satisfying! You'll be a svelte long distance runner in no time :clap:
 
It's a lot easier on the old knees, at least nowadays I know its down to hard exercise and not too many pies! :lol!:
 
I've ran 28 miles this week, it's starting to get a little easier in recovering afterwards. Current donation total is standing at nearly £285. Thanks to all who have donated so far. ;)
