Hi

Not sure if this is allowed on here, so please remove if not.


If it is, I am raising money for Ashgate Hospice by running 55 half marathons in 55 days. Just completed my 13th. You might see me limping to my seat in the S1 over the next few weeks!

I might have seen that posted on LinkedIn - very commendable effort. I think I could just about manage one half marathon over 55 days!

why 55, just out of interest?

Haha - very valid question. I work (from the UK) with a lot of Accounting firms in the USA. Our work dries up as they work towards their April 15th tax deadline. It means I have a bit more time on my hands, so drop the kids off at school and then head out for a couple of hours. When i started the challenge, we were 55 days from the tax deadline. Once the deadline passes there'll be a lot less time for running!

Yep I know what you do / who for. Which probably gives away my trade ;)

Brilliant effort, Arran. I've chucked a little something in :wub:

I'm in S1 and can sometimes be found limping to my seat – only because I'm getting on a bit and I've got a dodgy knee at the minute :o

Done the 50th this morning. Seen quite a few on here have supported. Thanks , should go through the 3k. Don’t really know anyone at the club or the trust but if anyone does and thinks they may promote it, please pass it on. I’m sure ashgate hospice are a partner charity of the trust
