I’m back, and i’m probably going to stick around this time. I need to update my bog because in all honesty Half Marathons are not my biggest problem anymore. I may have told a few of you about my stupid Manchester to Newcastle run in September and you all thought “Yeah, like that’s really going to happen”

You know what, you sarcastic bugger, it IS happening. Here’s the deal…

My friend Colin said in a pub on my 25th birthday that he would like to do something big next september for the Great North Run. We had drank a fair amount of lager at this point and our brains were in overdrive thinking of the most ridiculous scenario to challenge our puny bodies. 

The Challenge:

Run the Great North Run….. (phew, ok i can handle that, that sounds easy)

But…. (what, but?…what do you mean but?)

Start in Manchester…..(hahahaha very funny, hahaha)

Seriously……(You sick sick man…what?)

Neil……(what?)

You’re having a conversation with yourself…….(…..)

Hello?…….(…..)

Are you the(START IN MANCHESTER???? ARE YOU INSANE???)

So yes, (oh this bit isn’t a conversation anymore)….that’s what we’re doing. We’ve already made contact with Age UK and have decided to try and raise a whole loada dosh for all the nans and grandads out there (shout out to all the grandads, i got your back bro)

I will post my training, my learningz and my findingz on my runningz so you can all go WELL DONE NEIL in a high pitched patronising voice and then give me a tenner (or a fiver in Steven’s case) for charity. No seriously thanks for your support even though you’ve not supported me yet thanks a lot. thanks. (You’re welcome)<——that was you.
