I thought 4.8 would be a good 'middle' reading to have and it was the reading I had after going out for a jog/run/walk with my friends the other day.

Ah! Great Tez - did you enjoy the JRW? Will you be doing it on a regular basis?🙂
 
Any more for the competition? Sponsorship is now up to ?290 - every penny counts!:D

Here are the rules again:

  • Sponsor me for 50p or more to enter. Those who have already sponsored me can have a go straightaway!
  • Guess my finishing blood glucose level. I have no idea what this might be, as so much depends on the day. Hopefully, it will not be TOO high or TOO low!
  • As there are likely to be some duplicate guesses, the tie-breaker will be to guess my finish time in hours:minute:seconds - the closest will then win!

The prizes will be:

  • First: A copy of 'The Discovery of Insulin' by Michael Bliss - a 'must-read' for anyone with diabetes, or caring for someone with it.
  • Second and third: A personalised poem written by me on the subject of your choice - can be for you, or someone's birthday - whatever you want!

To enter, sponsor me at http://www.justgiving.com/NorthernerJDRF/ then post your guesses here!

My finish time last year was just over two hours, to give you an idea, but I hope to do better than that this year🙂

Anyone else want to sponsor me and enter the competition?

I managed to go for my first run in two weeks today, after injuring my calf last time out. Survived, so hopefully there will be no more catastrophies before the big day! Will look forward to seeing anyone who can make it to cheer me (and everyone else!) on - will try to arrange something nearer the time!

You can read about my latest run, and browse my training and poems, on my blog at:

Hows the leg? might want to alter my time if you are going to be hopping round the course!

Hehe! Too late! The leg is much better, thanks - I was able to go for a short run on Monday without mishaps and will be going out again tomorrow, all being well!🙂

My sponsorship has stalled though :(

Hey North' glad the limbs are getting fixed, make sure you don't push yourself too much! Keep pushing for the dough tho!
 
Hurrah! Got my running vest from JDRF today! It's got a big picture of Pingu on it 😎

Now up to ?300 on the sponsorship but still ?100 off my target! If anyone wants to enter the competition, see my post at the beginning of the thread 🙂 Only 50p to enter!!
 
I have just got my race number through today, so look out for number 6733! (Hint: I will not be the one outsprinting the three Africans on the finishing straight!:D)
