Donate Money to a great cause and make Mike suffer too!
Next Saturday (28th October) is Paul Sims Charity Marathon Day.
Here's the deal - Paul's total currently stands at 801 GBP.
IF you guys can get it over 1000 GBP by the day of the marathons, I'll do a 50k rather than just(!) a marathon. That's an extra 7,805m of pain after completing the full marathon distance, and I'll do it continuously too (only stopping for drinks, and maybe to put plasters on various parts of my anatomy...)
Here's Paul's link to just giving:
http://www.justgiving.com/pasims
Please visit, please donate, and then sit back and think how you've made me suffer! Can't say fairer than that.
(Paul, if you can, can you amend the target up to 1,000 GBP so people can see how much left before I suffer even more)

60k???? You .... kind .... person, you...
How early would I have to start then???
On a serious note, assuming I do end up doing the 50k, presumably I'd need to start at 9:30 if you lot are starting at 10?
Of course, if you all do 50k, then I could do 60k....

Not THAT early!!
I was assuming you start at 10:00, we start at 10:30 - finish between 13:30 and 14:00 - possibly in the Reading Infirmary.....

Good luck with the 50k Mike. I will be there to make sure you are suffering. I am looking forward to the marathon but feeling slightly nervous as well. For some reason I am not in the slightest bit tempted to extend my marathon to 50k, although I think I will do a 50k at some stage this season - just to post a time for the extreme league. Looking forward to meeting you.
Best of luck to all marathoners and well done to those who have already done it - especially Tricia who seems to have done 2 already on consecutive days.
edited after posting: correction Tricia has done 3 marathons on 3 days - incredible rowing Tricia.
