Running 26 marathons one for each letter of the alphabet is the challenge, in Memory of my brother Ian pictured above. Who died after a three year fight with a brain tumour which is why I am raising money for thebraintumourcharity.org the challenge has been tough with injuries and having children,twin boys born August 2015 it has become an even bigger challenge than I first envisaged.

Best intentions
I have found it really hard getting the motivation to go running, I have all the excuses dark nights, cold and wet but it comes down to just getting on with it, once out I am ok, I went out for a run yesterday when it was raining and cold, I felt surprisingly good but I only went because panic set in. March 18th is not long away. I signed up to a 20 mile run on 11th February in panic mode. I think I will find it hard to do my own 20 mile route. I have certainly not documented my training I am an advert for how not to train for a marathon.
I was saying to my wife Jo how I shout at my self to push harder, pump my arms more and to move my legs quicker, then I think if I have the energy to shout at myself then I am ok, so I berate myself for using up precious energy.
Jo is incredible her support is massively appreciated it was Jo who told me about the 20 mile run. Jo is also a runner and a very good runner. We have twin boys Harry & Alfie and both work part-time so do not have much spare time so have to support each other in our running. It makes the motivation for running harder as we can not run when we feel like it, we have to go running when we have time but we might not feel like running then. Jo and I used to run together a lot before having children now we are rarely able to run together. We would not change anything and feel very lucky to have Alfie and Harry who will be 2 1/2 in February.
