Me...well 12 months ago I was 18.5 stone and heading towards health problems. I started a diet well lots of them, we've all done that right? But they seldom worked other than making life even more miserable  

But I did loose a stone and the difference was noticeable in my size, energy level and state of mind. Then Donna my wife announced she was to start running, having taken up boot camp some months earlier and benefiting enormously. 

Now as a lanky school boy I could never run far and had no interest in running, but this suggestion sparked a flame in my head.....hmmmm running! 

So in early December 2015 two beetroot coloured individuals where to be seen on the streets of Littleport using the couch to 5k app. With the help of a friend and experienced runner about 11weeks later (Christmas got in the way) the app was complete and we where runners. Since then I have completed 10 Parkruns and have now run 100's of miles around the village!!!

The benefit is now I'm near to loosing 4 stone that's 56Lbs or near as dam it 25kgs in new money! 

Going forward my efforts are to being focused on a  triathlon next year so wish me luck on that! 

But in the meantime....

It's now time to use my newborn skill to help others and how better than a local charity who are worthy recipients of any funds I can raise. 

Branching Out....

So dig deep and give what you can, and don't forget to wave next time you see me lapping the mean streets of Littleport . 

Thanks
