I'm running in a relay with a friend for 24hours around a 9k loop.(Its called Cotswold 24 hour run and its on 23-24 July). It wasn't even a dare, we really think it might be fun :-)

Before hand (17 June) for training but mainly because the route looks beautiful (I see it from the train window every week when I get the train to London) we're running from Reading, where the Kennet and Avon Canal meets the Thames all along the canal towpath down to Trowbridge, where we live. That's about 75 to 80 miles we think, so will be a brilliant chance to explore that part of the country side and get blisters at the same time. 

Because this is a bit longer than normal we thought we could get sponsorship for some amazing charities. I've chosen the Canal Trust for the work they do in keeping this incredible resource open for us all.
