Katie, much as I like your idea, I shudder to think what this lot would have me wearing (or not) if they had a hand in it! 😱

It would be interesting to hear people's suggestions though (as long as they are printable! 😉)

haha, well they couldn't be too bad, as you'd need to be able to be photographed and printed in Balance so people may have to have an official andan alternative list lol

what was your initial target Alan? I see you've upped it to ?500 now, but can't remember what you set originally!

I haven't forgotten I'm donating when I get paid!

My original target was ?250 Katie 🙂 Amazing to see that I am well on the way to doubling it! 🙂
 
I've just got my copy of Balance today and there is an article in it about diabulimia - what a coincidence! DWED get a little mention at the end of the article, although the person in the case study relates how she has raised money for Diabetes UK, rather than DWED. Whilst there's certainly nothing wrong in that, I chose DWED for my charity as I know the money goes directly to helping people who have this particular problem - I'm a little uncertain how much of DUK's funds go to helping individuals in this area. 🙂

p.s. I will put up a review of this issue of Balance tomorrow, when I have read it! 🙂
 
Well done Alan on the extra distance today - and overcoming the urge to walk - I know that feeling well🙂

I am sure you will meet your ?1000 goal, and even if you don't you have done terribly well so far.

I am hoping to get a run in tomorrow - but it won't be nothing like yours!

Thanks Lucy, hope you manage to get your run in 🙂 It's been a rest day for me today, so just a short entry in today's blog:

🙂
 
Ha Ha Alan - just the thought of you running alongside a teletubbie tickles me!

Being 1/3 of the way there with your distance already - I really don't think you need to worry. Good to see you are being sensible with the training though - and I am learning from you!🙂

There will be no sneak previews until I have passed my new target! :D I will say this though, I need bigger boobs! 😱
 
But you know friends are always honest Alan - so why not a sneak preview and then you can adjust according to our comments.:D

Best start pressing your hands together in front of you and start chanting:
'I must I must improve my bust'.:D
 
Alan your blog is excellent, really enjoying reading it and laughing even when I am feeling a bit low and don't think I can laugh! I have just set up my other iPhone with an rss reader for dad (first steps into tech lol) and added the feed to your blog which he loves. Keep going and if you need any pink things I have a selection maybe even a handbag 😉

We like the way you add your reading before and afer the run.

Thank you pippin, I'm pleased you and your Dad are enjoying reading it! 🙂 It's good for me too, as it forms a useful diary of my training that I can look back on in years to come, when I grow up 😉

I'm avoiding pink because that is more associated with cancer, so my 'outfit is silver and white with a long, bright-blue wig - need to get an Alice band to keep the hair out of my eyes though, and keep the thing on my head. Only thing I'm short of now is a wand! :D
 
Maybe we could get you a sweatband from Sweaty Betty as they do funky colours 😉 non slip ones instead of an Alice band lol don't have a wand but could ask the sock fairy for hers as she visits this house quite a lot to take a sock!

A sweatband is a better idea, why didn't I think of that? Possibly because I've never dressed as a fairy before! :D Perhaps I could ambush the tooth fairy when she comes to visit one of the kids down the street? 😉
