Day 11

I went to another wedding last night. I spent the whole time either at the bar or on the dance floor so I woke up today feeling a bit knackered. Still, I managed to drag myself out of bed to do a couple of miles in the scorching heat today so happy with that!

Day 10 - Double Trouble

Decided to run to AND from work today. Running there was tough in this heat, but on the way back after a 6 hour shift on my feet was one of the hardest slogs of my life. Didn’t think I’d need sun tan lotion but I was wrong haha. A wee bit red in the face but up to 35 miles in 10 days so bang on schedule :)

Day 9 - fastest 5K and new bag!

My amazingly supportive partner bought me a running bag. It makes all the difference when I run to work, and is the main reason I did my fasted 5k of the month and also longest distance of 3.6 miles :)

Day 8

Ran to work today (3.5 miles). Slow, tough going but I didn’t stop at any point so happy with that!

Day 7 - The day after the day after

After a very successful wedding I had an enforced rest day yesterday - I could barely open my eyes let alone go for a run haha. Back on it today, sweating out pints of Tennents and haggis Bon Bons. Unsurprisingly I’ve suffered my first stitch of the month!

Day 5 - Wedding day!

My sister is getting married today! I am beyond excited and proud :D

Slightly overindulged last night and woke up a bit rough, went for a run on the beach and I saw a couple of guys heading into the water to swim - I couldn’t help myself so I jumped in as well haha. Best hangover cure ever

Day 4 - May the Fourth be with you

Big day tomorrow, my beautiful wee sister is getting married! Busy day today getting prepped and travelling. Just a short run before dinner tonight, back pounding the streets early tomorrow before the wedding :)

Day 3 - IT’S WEEKEND MY DUDES

Sun in shining, legs are on fire and I feel awesome :) longest run yet, starting to feel a wee bit of progress

Day 2

2 miles in the glorious sun. I’m not used to weather like this in Glasgow haha

First run complete!

Decided to run to work today so brought all my work stuff and lunch etc in a backpack which made the run a wee bit tougher.

I feel awesome :) 3.13 miles down, 96.87 to go lol

Practice run compete :D

Why?

100 miles of running in a month for an unfit guy like me is nothing compared to what these wee heroes face each and every day. Not to mention everyone involved in working with/in the hospital, who are all humans of the highest integrity and calibre.

Plus, a wee bit of exercise can’t hurt.

I’m running 100 miles in May for GOSH Charity!

I’m challenging myself to run 100 miles in May to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity).

Every day brings new challenges at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Every day, around 750 seriously ill children and young people are seen at GOSH from all over the UK for life-changing treatment and care. Every day, doctors and nurses battle the most complex illnesses, and the brightest minds come together to achieve pioneering medical breakthroughs.

And with every mile I run, I’ll be helping GOSH Charity give seriously ill children the chance of a better future.

This extraordinary hospital has always depended on charitable support, so please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.
