You may have noticed the justgiving.com widget that’s appeared on the right hand side of this page. What’s it all about?

Well, despite common sense suggesting otherwise, I decided it would be a good idea to attempt two half marathons just one week apart and, given my usual pathetic attempt at training for these things, have also commited myself to 6 weeks without alcohol in the build up.

More specifically:

• I will be running the Cardiff Half Marathon on Sunday 19th October 2008.
• Seven days later I will be running the Birmingham Half Marathon, on Sunday 26th October 2008.
• I will be giving up alcohol for 6 weeks, from Sunday 14th September until after the Birmingham run on Sunday 26th October.

To make the most of my stupidity I have decided to raise money for the British Heart Foundation in the process… so please sponsor me now.
