…Oh!

So D-Day is June 16th for the 5k run in Llangefni. Myself and my buddy Glyn Evans are running in support of Prostate Cancer UK under the auspices of Go Dad Run.

I feel something of an accomplishment getting this far. Ten years ago I wasn’t certain I was going to be anywhere at all and slowly but surely, from being homeless pretty much hitting the bottom, I have gradually crept back to life. This has been possible due to some wonderful people, Jill who means the world to me, Glyn who has been a rock for me, Mawgan and Sue who never let me go & Rick who has been a good friend. These are my family along with Sara, Pat & family & Sarah who I have re-established contact with after absolutely yonks.

As far as getting fit goes, well since I quit smoking in August last year, I have been hitting the gym at least twice weekly on average. Just the last two weeks or so we have begun actual running outdoors in the open air where we can scare children and small animals.

The real trick is to run on a plan, my legs are gradually getting used to the demands being placed on them. And I am getting to be more mobile following runs too, so that’s cool. We hope to be able to make a good fist of things in three weeks (THREE WEEKS!) time…

Also, I have details of how to donate in a following post along with some heavy breathing videos… :::waggles eyebrows:::
