I probably should know better but I've gone and signed up for the Great Midlands Fun Run again!
Once more Walsall Samaritans will benefit from my efforts to get round that 8.5 mile route - and just to leave you in no doubt, it will definitely be at a walking pace!
After last year's event, my brother Steve asked - "Do we keep on with the walking?" I replied that I thought we would, perhaps once a month......so a month after the event, we did go for another walk - I can't remember where!
Since then.......
Well, you know how it is....good intentions and all that!
But here we are, we've both registered again and tomorrow is scheduled for the start of our "training" and we plan to repeat our trip to Sandwell Valley which started the big build up last year. If it is a day like today, it will be perfect walking weather - bright and clear and not too warm.
So I'll be digging out the walking shoes and the knee supports, and the Walking Poles will see action again (probably incognito at this stage - Pawel and Kamil haven't yet decided whether they will be making any guest appearances this year).
So I hope its all going to be worthwhile - I've got of to a good start with a generous £20 donation and about £4 raised through "Give as You Live". If your reading this and would like to help me turn my leg-work into money for the Walsall & District branch of Samaritans, please click through to my fundraising page - if you're unable to make a donation, you can still help by doing some searches or online shopping from my page - the good folks at Everyclick collect money for the cause from the sites you visit - even if you're not shopping every two searches you make earns a penny for the charity!
