New Year, New Challenge, New (& first ever) Blog

Hi, I've never done this blogging thing before but figure if I'm going to do a ridiculous amount of training in the build up to the completion of the Lakeland 50 race in July, i may as well document my progress for all to see.

I'm doing the race with two mates, Gaz & Frank, but we'll also be supported on our training runs by another mate Tom. No stranger to running, Tom recently completed a '100 runs in 100 days' which he did for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF)http://100runsin100daysforjdrf.blogspot.com/ the final run was the Great North Run which he completed with Gaz & Frank (and a couple of thousand others). From left to right Gaz, Tom & Frank.

I'll try to update after every training run with the route completed and any other relevant info.

I hope you enjoy it!
Mick
