So what is it all about?
running 26 miles, raising money [incase we all forgot http://www.justgiving.com/runningbenjamin]

I dont think anyone has really sat down and written about the whole of it, the rough, the smooth, what they expected and what shocked them. well, this is what im attempting to do.

The positive: [+] The Negative: [-]

+ Ive begun getting fitter, and healthier

- I guess my body had realised the extra workouts and so my appetite has naturally changed and my meals now are huge ! which in turn makes me want to train more and run it off to stay lean ... the cycle continues

+ I have actually really enjoyed running around the parks at the weekends and it has help me figure out a lot of stuff in my head. Nothing like running for 4 hours with absolutely no distractions to get you thinking!

- It has become very apparent that i can no longer hold my drink ! something to do with the circulation of the blood and exercise, but i guess those university years of practice have been sacrificed !

+ i really think by seeing my progress first hand, its given me confidence that a great many things are infact possible with hard work and focus. Too often doubts are proved right because basically we listen to them and think that we cant= thus creating our own destiny. if anything, i know 20 miles aint my limit, cause i was still standing !!

- I have been a little disappointed by the lack of money i have raised and although i am putting so much effort into my trainning. if i dont raise any money out of it - then really ....what is it all for?

please help what im trying to do: [please dont put it off, do it now]
