So with the 1095 miles done and with some 60 odd more days left, I’ve decided to up the challenge and try and cover 1,500 miles for the 365 days of running. As such, I sent an email out yesterday to try and raise some more cash for charity… which read like this:
It seems as though running 1095 miles is not enough…
… for some people, so I’ve moved the finish line…
For anyone who doesn’t know, 304 days ago I vowed to run at least three miles a day EVERY day for a year – you can read my daily travails at www.1095miles.com.
Thanks to a marathon and a couple of halves, I beat my 1095mile distance target last month – but still have two months to go to complete the year of running challenge.
So I’ve now decided to attempt 1,500 miles in the year, which means that by September 20, I have to up my average daily mileage from three to 4.6 miles a day.
The new challenge rules are:
- 1. I still have to run at least three miles a day for the next 61 days
- 2. In that time, I have to average at least 4.6miles a day.
- 3. I have to clock up 1,500 miles by September 20
All I ask in exchange is for you to bung a few quid towards my two chosen charities.
Candlelighters – a children’s cancer foundation based in Leeds
Waterside Charitable Trust – a cottage charity that helps with health, sanitation and youth projects in Kenya.
Donations can be made at www.virginmoneygiving.com/1095miles and are split equally between the two charities.
